20090309 750ml bottle from RB Spirits. Hazed medium brown with medium sized, manageable tan head that sheets lace. Attractive beer. Aroma is bright and fresh with mild yeast spiciness, birch wood, toasted grain, and definite floral notes. I don’t detect any citrus on the nose. Body is airy and light up front and across the middle, but it does not lack in backbone or malt presence. I would not have guessed from the body or flavor that this was nine percent, it comes across as a slightly sturdy dubbel. Flavors emerge with temp to include some citrus, clove, and fresh bready malts. At first this beer wasn’t really doing much for me, but I am appreciating it more throughout the bottle to the degree that I may just buy a few more. The price is right at under eight bucks.

750 ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a long lasting off-white head and a lot of lacing. Yeasty aroma follows by chocolate, dark fruit and hints of hops. Body is full and smooth. Chocolate, dark fruit spices, Belgium yeast, brown sugar, earthy hops fill the mouth. Finish is long and very spicy. Complex, delicious brew.

From 0.75l bottle @ Ølfestival København 2012. This is a near clear dark copper beer. It has a big and almost fluffy off-white head that sticks around. Not to extreme on the aroma, some caramel, branches, cocoa beans, yeast and alcohol. Average carbonated and it has a oily texture. Light sweet flavors, I get flowers, dark caramel - the kinda sticky one with some chocolate paper near the finish. Tasty and not bad at all! Liked this one 10.05.2012

DØE. Unclear reddish brown with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and dried fruit. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 100512

Brown body with a nice off-white head. Floreal and yeasty aroma. Spicy mouthfeel. Warm body, sweety finish. Not bad!

Pours a very dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, toffee, dark fruits with hints of yeast and alcohol. Taste is also sweet malt with fruit, caramel and toffee leading to sweet fruity and yeasty finish. Very nice, a bit better than the Local 1 I think.

Bottle pours darker cola brown with nice head. Smells yeast floral caramel sweet small booze. Dark fruit. Very nice carb taste. Tingle. Really good refreshing tartness

Poured from 25.4 oz bottle. Pours a delicious dark chocolate with a tan thin head. Taste is good with a thin body and a sweet malty taste. I liked the local 1 better!

This is a bit heavy on the palate, with the sweetness you expect from a Belgian style ale. Good floral aroma and has a moderate amount of head. It’s a little cloudy, but that’s expected.
