| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2002 A very deep ruby red on the pour, the head is light chocolate in color, creamy, reasonable in size, the lace is chumpy. Nose is malt, nutty sweet, maybe even a bit plummish. Front is delightfully sweet, the top lean, the finish is biting, soothingly hopped, dry somewhat bitter aftertaste. Ranks #588 on my current 1000 beer master list.

Fruity, yeasty aroma. Silky mouthfeel reveals a malty body, highlighted by fruity undertones. Almost tangy finish. I’ve had many variations of this beer, sometimes it follows this rating, sometimes it’s like a rich chocolate chake. Odd, but an old favorite. Darkover (1319), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2003 Dark amber color, with a big creamy beige head that disappears pretty quickly. Sweet malty vineous aroma. Flavor is sweet, malty, fruity-berries, and sour. Finish is sour and tart and a little bitter.

Has a ruby body and frothy beige head. Prominent nose of bubble gum phenols, esters, dark fruit, honey and a hint of fusel alcohols. Flavor has a slightly sour strawberry quality that I haven’t detected in other dubbels. Also has a nutty chocolate flavor. Velvety mouthfeel. Pretty good beer. I’m a sucker for this style. beerslayer (753), New Jersey, USA
