Looks like they have updated the label on this one. Good job, looks allot nicer now. Pours a very nice brown liquid with hints of red with a white foam on the top. Ive tried this many times before but I was suprised this time of how smokey it was, its some kind of cigarr taste. Also had tsstes of caramell, dark chocolate and nuts. However the beer doesnt feel as balanced as it could and the flavours doesnt fit together perfectly which drags the points down a bit.

Brown in the glass with a big bubbly head. Yeasty perfumed smell with red fruit, white chocolate - very appetising and strong. More chocolate and bready malt in the taste. Prickly carbonation and fruit esters, a touch of herby hoppy bitterness. Very nice

(bottle) pours a murky ruby-brown colour with a rocky beige head. aroma of toasted malts, blackcurrant and yeast. flavour is quite earthy, with some light notes of chocolate and fruit and a caramel finish. medium alcoholic body with average carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with big tan head. Aroma of raisin and brown sugar. Flavor of licorice and dried fruits. Heavy on the tongue with a bit of a bitter finish. Interesting beer.

Bottled. Very beautiful deep mahogany brown pour with a persistent rocky beige head. Aroma is dark brown sugar, raisin, fig, a hint of spice. It has a sweet brown sugar flavor to it with lots of dark fruits: raisin, fig, dates. Some vanilla, nuts, a little leather, and Belgian yeast spice round it out. Finishes kind of boozy.

A more subdued dubbel. Still get a little fruity sour kick as it warms, but mostly a smooth caramel and malt with white raisins. Small head, medium carbonation. Looks awesome.

There is a sour malty aroma in this belgian ale. The rich brown color is complemented with a creamy cappucinno head. There are flavors of a spicy brown ale with resiny malt flavors and sweetness.

Appearance: Pours a dark clear amber with a retaining, creamy layer of film. Aroma: Fruity, banana bubble gum notes. Taste: Banana laffy taffy, bready malt and moderate hop spice. Mouthfeel: Thin with low carbonation. Overall: A nice solid dubbel.
