Uriel (141), San Jose, California, USA Aug 22, 2004 Cloudy brown color. Very sweet, sort of musky aroma, some cereal. Little or no head. Sweet flavor, some clover honey notes, with coffee flavor at the end.
terrybail (150), , Ontario, Canada Nov 15, 2008 330ml bottle from the LCBO as part of a Belgian Ale Sampler pack
Nice sweet honey malty aroma
Pours a deep brown with a frothy 2 inch head
Tastes a little like sweet caramel and honey with a touch of bitterness
I like it
austone (565), 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 (577), 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. EHopper (171), Minnesota, USA Oct 28, 2008 Part of a variety pack. Kind of a light tasting beer for the color. A bit of dark fruit and the expected banana, certainly taste the malt and a little dryness at the end. Easy drinking. Don’t taste a lot of alcohol. Nothing I have to have again, but a fine drink. illkarate (61), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Oct 28, 2008 750ml, pours a cloudy brown, with a nice tan head. Flavors of honey, tangy berries, cloves and banana. This is a pretty interesting beer, nicely carbonated, but a little thin on the palate. Very drinkable and it packs a punch. If it were a touch less expensive, it would make for a great session beer.
