During the fermentation of the first batch of this Abbey-style dubbel, the yeast «died» and was «resurrected» by brewer Chris Cashell. This beer is not unlike those that certain Belgian monks have been brewing since the 16th century. Made with five types of barley malt and lots of sugar, this beer is quite strong and flavorful, without being too sweet.

"I think this is a solid Belgium-style beer. In fact, this was the beer that got me into the Belgium brews. A well done Dubbel and would recommend it to those who can give it a try."

[2] Review by mdsmith from Baltimore, MD, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/16/2007 2:10:07 PM)
"This brew has never impressed me. Pours brown with a hint of red and almost no head. I found the aroma to be a little on the bitter side. Not what I think of when I hear abbey dubble. "

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/26/2006 5:24:57 PM)
"Clear, stained cherrywood. Very little head. Really comes across like a brown ale. Faint aroma. Lacks much of the yeast deriven character of the style. Not bad, but a little boring."

"I had Brewers Art Resurrection on tap at the Grey Lodge. It poured a medium brown colored body with an off white head. It had a pleasant aroma of sweet and candi sugar. The taste was sweet and malty. Overall a solid dubbel."

[5] Review by E from Spring Mountain, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/17/2005 1:37:27 PM)
"Poured a hazy amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of bananas, clove, caramel malts, and other spices. Taste of caramel malts, light roast, citrus fruits, yeast, and a touch of alcohol."
