Jul 17, 2007 750 mL bottle, Batch 404 (vintage), shared with ArcaneApollo, 4/4/2007. WOW, this beer became incredibly complex with age. The beer pours a deep ruby color with a lacy white head. Aroma is chocolate and plum. Taste is malt up front, with hints of chocolate, plum, and slight raisin, nutty, and earth notes included as well. Excellent dubbel (again, it’s worth noting I sampled a vintage, and the current Allagash Dubbel I have tried scores lower than this).

Jul 16, 2007 Updated: Jul 17, 2007750 ml bottle from MCAS Miramar Marine Mart: Pours a murky prune juice brown with a medium, but fading beige head. Aroma is spicy and wine like with dark fruit. Flavor starts spicy and fruity with raisin and plum finishing lightly sweet with a mild bitterness. Medium bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation.

Jul 14, 2007 Pours a deep walnut brown with a one finger off-white head that fades slowly to a thin cap. The lacing is thick, almost completely covering the inside on the glass.
Smell; sweet almost sugary, with lots of dark fruits. Raisins, plums and dates are all present as well as some roasted earthy notes.
Taste; as with the nose the flavor starts out sweet with brown sugar, and little chocolate. Raisins, plums and dates give this the fruitiness you would expect with a double, and the finish is a touch on the earthy side. Not the best double out there, but pretty darn respectable.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a nice smooth carbonation, and the drinkability is good.

Jul 12, 2007 Bu en échantillon, à la brasserie (bouteille de 750 ml.). Brune mi-foncée, moyen collet beige. Arome légé de caramel épicé, un peu malté. Goût de malte de cassonade peu impossant, pas si fort en sensation d’alcool. Assez bien!

Jul 7, 2007 Dark brown color with tan head. Slightly spicy aroma. Malty taste has hints of molasses and caramel. Medium carbonation and dry finish. Seemed a little thin, but overall fairly enjoyable.

Jun 30, 2007 12 oz. bottle, aged one year. Pours a dark ruby color with with a very small light tan head. There was a very small amount of sediment floating in the beer. The lacing was minimal on the sides of the chalice. The scent was of malt, brown sugar, figs and some molasses. The taste woke up the sweet part of the taste buds, with some hints of berry, fruit and malt played around. There was a dry finish, with a small amount of bitterness and sweetness alternating on the palate.
