Smells malty and sweet, hinting at fruit (citrus?) Brown body with tan head that dissipates after a minute or so (from the bottle). Well-balanced, albeit slightly weak taste. Sweet, but not overpowering with the sweetness, malt, or alcohol. A solid dubbel. I might be getting this again, but in the bigger container (I got the 11.2 oz bottle, as shown in the pic).

yeasty nose bite, citrus, mirky muddy dark brown body with an overwhelming and overflowing rocky brown head, tart and tangy lemon zip, spicey raisins, sweet raosty malts with that yeasty buzz that we all love so much, sweet alcohol presences, metallic finish

Bottle. Brown beer with a huge cafe au lait colored head. Rich malt and date/fig aroma. Fruity (cheery/fig) flavor with rich malt and nice yeast complexity. Light chocolate. High carbonation.

Aroma was sweet, yeasty, caramel malts, some green apple. Pours absurdly large off-white frothy hea, with an amber body. Hits sweet, hint of raisin, licorice, with a yeast overpowering alcohol finish. Medium body. Overall, not a bad beer, but nothing much to rave about and some imbalances.
