Day 9 of the 24 beer of Christmas is Figgy Pudding, an Belgian Dubbel, from Art History Brewing in Geneva, Illinois. Hard to believe that Figgy Pudding is the first beer I have had the chance to try from Art History Brewing, a brewery that is only 25 minutes from the house. Lazy? Possibly. More like busy with three teenagers.
Figgy Pudding is considered to be a Belgian Dubbel. The color of the beer is spot on but then it falls off from there. The aroma and taste are not reminiscent of a Dubbel, further, there is just an oddness to this beer overall. There doesn’t seem to be a flaw in the brewing process, just execution. I would not have this beer again. Enjoy!
