Apr 11, 2008 Tasted a 12oz bottle with Brian the brewer himself.Poured a nice dark bown,the usual color of an abbey.The aromas were of tons of malt,toffee,raisins.The flavors were malt,of course,chocolate,all the usual suspects.I liked it so much I brought a keg of it to put on the bar I purchase for in Warren,can not wait to try it on draft.

Apr 25, 2008 Updated: Apr 26, 200812 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Drank out of the Unibrue glass that Jay hooked me up with, thanks Jay. Pours a deep ruby/ brown body with a huge frothy off white head. Aroma of candied sugar, figs, raisins, prunes, sugar, maltiness, brown bread and some more sugar. Medium to full bodied that is nice and creamy with a good touch of carbonation present. flavor is sweet and fruity with notes of fig, raisin, plums and finishes with a touch of srawberry. Great new brewer that I hope makes it because I will drink loads of this beer. PS get some new labels the old ones are uglier then some of my old one night stands.

Apr 25, 2008 12 oz bottle from Oaktree. Pours a nice deep ruby color with a nice lasting off beige- almost grayish look and nice lace. Aroma is phenolic yeasty spiciness but not overdone- the typical high fruity esters and fusels seem very light which I like- also a slight sea-air saltiness in the aroma that I get form some saisons- nice yeast strain and temp control here. Flavor is nicely malty, some hints of nuts, toasted bread, caramel and munich malts, light fruitiness in the middle- some raisin but also toffee in there- with a dry bready finish and some light earthy spicy phenols in the end as well. Mouthfeel is nice- carbonation is med to hgih, but not overcarbed- nice mouthfeel. Better than I expected since I dont usually like Dubbels. Nice beer.
