Bottle: poured a dark opaque chestnut brown with ruby highlights. Large tan cap reduces to a 1cm cap that stays...good lacing....good aroma like bananas with treacle and a light musty note. Substantial malts but medium-light , spritzy-slick body.... slight sour twang up front reminiscent of a Flemish sour red... then a flood fruit taste blanketed in burnt brown sugar...wet finish with some sour drying. A very drinkable abby dubbel

Part of a birthday gift from Tom. Pours a deep, dark red/brown with a merangue like beige head. Aroma is banana bread, raisins, cherries, and carmel. The flavor is apple cider, cherries, and a bit sour. Medium bodied and a bit fizzy but that’ll die down.

Am drinking it now. Seems a bit watery for an 8%, but has nice notes of caramel, sourness, yeastiness and brandy. A nice beer--though not best in class my any means.

Pours a reddish brown with a very large off-white head. Aroma is slightly tangy. Taste is predominately cidery and sour. Not my favorite beer.

Poured into Chimay chalice, murky orange-brown with very huge head, I had to wait several minutes for the head to die down before hittin it. Apples and raisins aroma. Taste is kinda sour, slightly fruity and malty...bitter aftertaste and kinda light in body for me.
