Fruity and sweet aroma and taste. Not too heavy rather a quite fine Belgian ale.

Orange-maroon appearance with a yeasty, frothy head. Candy malts dominate the aroma with the strong evidence of marsala as well. The flavor reflected this with a candy and malty presence and desserty marsala tones with the possible impression of caramel.

bottle-pours a hazy brown hue with a sudsy beige head. a considerable amount of funky yeast here in this beer. nice notes of cinammon, clove and dark fruits. this is much better than the tripple. lots of nice red apple flavors with some notes of grape skins as well. as for thie trippel, this beer is not over-carbonated like some people have stated. i would say this is a solid dubbel.

appearance was classic, darkish brown fading to red at the bottom where the light could sqweeze itself through, tan head that seemed to last a while but not long enough as it disappeared before long, aroma was filled with alcohol, nuttiness, and a maltiness that begged to be tasted, by the time the actual first sip came around, the head had vanished, fizzy/spicy/fizzy (redundant I know), but malty and roasted, alcohol undertones but not severally noticeable, sweet alcohol finish, soda pop-like with a couple shots of alcohol...NOt bad..but not that good either

pours hazy brown with a noisy, explosive beige head. yeasty, toffee-ish, perfumy aroma. honey, fruit, and slight spice on the tongue. tart hoppy finish.

Medium brown color, medium head. Malty, sweet and somewhat nutty. Hoppy, slightly spicy. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is very smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. No alcohol bite, despite 8% alcohol. Nice drinkable beer.
