Sample at the brewpub. Near-black with a smidgeon of head and lacing...yeasty, baked fruit dominates the full nose...extremely sweet in the body, much the character of cola inistially, maraschino cherries, baked apple...zesty carbonation helps to keep the sugar from cloying, but sweet brown sugariness does mark this and dumbs it down a bit I think. Decent but far from great dubbel.

Nov 26, 2008 On tap at the brewpub, served in a tulip. Dark red brown with a small head. Muted yeasty and dark fruit aroma. Flavor is similar, with the expected dark fruit and yeasty cloves, but again a little watered down. It was served a bit on the cold side and the flavors came out a bit more as it warmed. Flavor is good, but it’s not strong enough.

Aug 4, 2008 12oz bottle. Solid Dubbel. Overexceeded my expectation of this style. Yeasts were not as dominant as I would expect for a belgian style beer, but still a great make. Poured a dark brown color with some brownish head, minimal lace. Taste is carmely and fruity, some yeast. esay going brew with a pleasant aftertaste. Enjoyable to the finish.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Goodbar Beer Club. Nose is nearly burnt malt, a bit of fruit, alcohol, yeasty & spicy. Flavor is rich malt, caramels, bitter (but not acrid) malts, tart, almost green apple but not quite - somehow tarter. Like a dubbel with a bit of cherry/stout/wood.
