beerscout (146) - New Windsor, New York, USA - DEC 28, 2011
Bottle. Creamy off white head. Deep brown color. Aroma of grape, currant, and pear. Barley and coffee too. Flavors of carmel, coffee, plum, and black currant. Slight smokey coffee aftertaste. A little light on the hops, but the show up in the finish. Pretty good, but not the best dubbel out there.
