22oz bottle-pours a thin retaining light tan head and mahogany color. Aroma is dark malt-sweet, spices, dark fruit. Taste is rich dark malt-sweet/some chocolate, grainy, husky, spices, dark fruit-cherry/prunes/raisins-vinuous, alcohol, faint hops. No Belgian yeast, but a nice American Dubbel. Mild/minimum carbonation. Thanks to Stevo for sharing.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel, and spicy yeast. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Fruity, raisens, figs, some cocoa, brown sugar, super aromatic, some soy sauce in finish. Too high abv for me but if your doctor said only one beer a day this would be a good one to consider! Tasty dubbel.

Raisiny vinous nose, some powdered chocolate notes. Deep, deep onyx red color, medium frothy head with nice lacing. Brown sugar rum raisin sweetness, slight bitter notes--very smooth. Creamy body, subtle smooth carbonation, horehound candy finish. A very nice beer, delicate and complex, alcohol is completely masked.

Pours a copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is pretty sweet with caramel malts, yeast, and some dark fruits. Flavor is of caramel malts, yeast, candied sugar, dark fruits, and some banana. Slight warming on the finish.

Bottle: Poured a dark dirty red with not much head. The aroma was sweet dried fruit. The flavor had hints of yeast, banana, spice and sweet fruits. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this beer.
