Tast eis quite earthy for what I was expecting. The pour is a dark rich reddish-brown with a off white head. Taste of spice. Fizzy carbination. Malty with a medium tasteof hops

The aroma has malt, spice, and leather. The appearance is reddish brown with a slight hazing. The flavor is nice. It has the same elements as the aroma. The palate is thinner than expected but not bad. This is a quality beer.

750ml bottle, batch #56. Off white, quickly dissipating head. Fine, lingering lacing atop a deep brown liquid, slightly cloudy. Nose on the faint-side, suggestions of sweet malt and caramel, and an odd, musty note. Slightly watery downtake. Slightly bitter finish with an sftertaste that is mostly molasses-sweet, but again, slight. That is the overall lasting impression: toned down, or slight in stature. Not unenjoyable, and certainly drinkable, but not as much wallop and complexity as I usually expect from a Dubbel. I recently reviewed a new Dubbel and thought it was a bit weak, but it outshines this one in every category. It is time to revisit that review and rethink my opinion as a result.

Pours a cloudy amber brown with a small beige head, which dissipates to a thin film. Aroma of yeast, bananas, brown sugar, mustiness, and some caramel. The flavor is not too sweet, with caramel and the yeast being the dominant flavors. Bitter finish, some alcohol warmth in there as well. Creamy mouthfeel, medium to full bodied. Soft carbonation. Pretty good beer.

out of the bottle pours an unimpressive muddied body consisting of amber, copper and fire-engine red shades. the aroma doesn’t carry - flat and of sweet malts. the body is smooth w/ a buttery consistency. the cream/grease lingers at the finish on the palate. taste is heavy on the malts - chocolate, caramel, grain, vanilla. finishes dry. not bad but too sweet for my taste. I didn’t even want to finish this one, let alone have another.

Good brown appearance with decent sized head and a little lacing. Good dubbel head. Fruity with a little alcohol, some yeastiness. The taste is a little lacking. Simliar taste to a good dubbel but it’s lacking some of the in your face attitude that the Belgians have. Give this one a try but don’t expect it to kick the shit out of your favorite dubbel.

750ML bottle-batch #52-Pours a nice amber color w/a big creamy tan head. Roasted, grassy aroma. Big bold metalic, spicy, floral flavor. Rich mouthfeel w/a long finish. Seemed to have a lot of carbination. Has some kick to it. Good beer, refreshing, but kind of heavy
