ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 13, 2008 375ml bottle, batch 32. Pours a dark brownish-amber color with a thin beige head that disapates quickly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Dried fruit and light chocolate in the nose, with a touch of hops. Medium-bodied and smooth with a faint nutty character, and flavors of fruit, chocolate and malt. The finish is lightly spiced with a malty aftertaste that lingers awhile. An above average dubbel that I would recomend.

Small tan head. Aroma is chocolate, cherries, some toffee and yeast. Flavor is sweetish, honey, yeast and some sweet malt. Nice beer from USA. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Nov 20, 2008 Poured into Chimay chalice. Pours a dark, cloudy amber with a small but long-lasting head. Aroma is milk chocolate, dark fruits (black cherries), yeast. Initial taste is a bit watery and bland but then turns more refined. Lots of malt and brown sugar and good balancing hops. Yeast is not too prevalent unlike abbey dubbels. Aftertaste is dry and long-lasting but pleasant. Lacing is most excellent. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA Oct 28, 2008 Bomber. Pours a crimson brown with a large creamy head. Aroma of soft malt, caramel and dark fruits. Flavor is soft and well blended, and there is a surprisingly nice touch of hops in there for complexity. As is Allagash’s trademark style, this brew is subtle, soft, and tremendously drinkable. It is clearly the blend of a true brewmaster.
