alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 31, 2009
Dark reddish brown color with an off-white head. Aroma of apples, malts, and hops. Malta, apples, lemon-maybe, and some hops hit your palate in a smooth, velvety manner.

ApisAles (1153) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - JAN 26, 2009
Poured a nice dark color with a medium off white head. Aroma was big malt and sweet with some nice fruit tones, maybe a little bit of citrus. Flavor was similar. Kind of a weird mix between dark fruit, cherries and a twist of lemon juice. There was definitely something a little sharp about this one, but not in an unpleasant way.

Pours a dark brown with a huge rocky tan head. Tons of lacing. Aroma of malts and coffee. Flavor is much the same. Something missing in tnis one for me. Little flat. Expected it to be a little more full bodied.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2009 Plums, Figs and Raisins up front. Large off-white head. Belgian Lace. Toffee and biscuit notes deeper into the tasting. Smooth, no warming, and a nice yeasty, estery overtone. Classic Dubbel.
