Shared by Naka. Gusher. Pours brown with huge khaki head. Nose is soy sauce and caramel with slight smoke. Taste is caramel with fruity notes, apple, pear, slight butter and mild bright citrusy, lemon notes. Mild bitter and a touch of astringency. Just OK.

Imperial-John (192) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 29, 2008
Dark brown with a beige thick foamy milkshake head that thins but stays foamy and floats on top. Faint yeasty aroma. Sweet, malty, yeast taste. Very refreshing and hides 7% alcohol well.

austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - NOV 15, 2008
33cl bottle. Dark ruby brown, frothy pale head. Yeasty, quite dry aroma with mild spiciness, cellar, rotten banana and wheat. Like a bad dunkelweizen. Dry herbal flavor, yeast and wheat with a bit acidic, berry-like finish. Quite light bodied, overcarbonated spritzy palate. There’s not much likeness with the standard dubbels here.

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 1, 2008
Variety pack item. App: Lovely ruby red colour with a very generous fluffy off-white head. Aroma: Malt, plums, some slight yeast also. Flavour: Wow - much bigger flavour than I was expecting. Alcohol is present, raisins, winter fruits & some definite malt, smoke in the finish too.
