gotohelunc (390), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Apr 22, 2008 Bomber. Rich auburn, big soapy head that disappears pretty quickly. Smells of rich, toasty malts, plums, and caramel. Really appealing nose. The taste wasn’t what I was hoping for after the start, though. Comes on with a nice thick plum/raisin taste up front but doesn’t hold the complexity for long. Finishes sharply, but not overly strongly or really that great. Good, drinkable, but not outstanding.
flatmatt (99), Northville, Michigan, USA Oct 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours slightly red brown with a small white head. Light aromas of dark fruits, green apples, toasted malts. Flavor is slightly tart green apples, biscuity malts, a touch of honey and a little dark fruit. Pleasant but also somewhat weak flavor. punkrkr27 (354), Clawson, Michigan, USA Sep 28, 2008 Dark iced tea colored pour with a ruby highlight and a large 3 finger off-white head. Subtly toasty caramel nose with some faint grass, dark fruit and cedar. Flavor is as equally subtle as the aroma with hints of caramel, almond, vanilla, dates, and cocoa. Medium body with a soft carbonation and a tad watery finish. Definitely a tasty and drinkable beer for being a high-po Belgian but it just seems to be lacking in body and flavor. rds (122), USA Sep 28, 2008 This dark amber, near brown, dubbel wears a thin tan head, and carries notes of caramel amid a woodsy earthy background. Plenty of balanced malt, not too sweet, real smooth. A fine dubbel. chimp_lechamp (378), freehold, New Jersey, USA Sep 28, 2008 tap at the memphis taproom- pours brown with thin offwhite head. nose is bubblegum, wheat? yeast, full bodied and very good. lots of subtleties about this one. drfabulous (746), Columbia, Missouri, USA Sep 26, 2008 I’m getting lots of malt. Some cherry. Sweetness. Even a bit of chocolate. "Should I open another?" I asked the wife. "Is it a bomber?" she asked. "Yes." "Then do it." And so this was opened.
