Beer Review: New Belgium Abbey Dubbel

I am normally a pretty big fan of New Belgium beers. Other than being bored with seeing Fat Tire everywhere, their other offerings are usually solid, if unspectacular.

Seeing the Abbey Dubbel in the stores, I was drawn to the package art first. I admit I do judge a new beer on its packaging first, since I have nothing else to go by.

Sitting at a reasonable 7% abv, it's not a heavy hitter, but it still could hit you if you have a couple.
Nice bottle art, looks mature and adult.
Not a sunny day or a decent backdrop, but we get to see a good head and deep, rich color.
A tall head after a slow pour, nice and pillowy, and remains throughout the duration of consumption.
