About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Name: Dubbel [Hoppy Belgian Dubbel]
Brewery: De Graal
Overall Rating: C
Style: Belgian
ABV: 6.5%
IBU: N/A
Appearance: Dark Amber
Aroma: Sweet
Flavor: Kinda bland. There is some flavor there, but not much. This is the lowest I have rated a Belgian since starting these reviews and the reason is, the taste. There just isn’t much there. Maybe if you’re looking to get into Belgians and you don’t want to start out with a Three Philosophers, then this might be the Belgian for you. It is not a flavor bomb by any means.
Body: Medium
Enjoyability: Meh. I have had better Belgians in my time.
