Bottle. <br />
Pours a dark ruby-mahogany body with a rather large frothy tan-yellow head.
Aroma is rather pleasant and rich with some spiced caramel malts, sweet toffee, and some plummy and raisiny fruits. Lively carbonation with a heavy yeast palate. Flavour is heavy on the candy sugars and caramel. There are also some cherry and plum notes. Finishes with some toasty malts and alcohol burn. Not outstanding but I’d consider it to be an above average Dubbel.

Dec 22, 2008 Pours a dark brown, well carbonated beige head. Nose is a bit sweet, but certainly spiced- anise. Flavor is extremely smooth- sweet malts and well carbonated (not overly so like the blond). Also smooth finish- moderate bitterness, but more immediate sweetness. Enjoyable.

Dec 14, 2008 Deep brown pour that is slightly hazy. Sweet aroma of prunes and quince. Stewed fruits dominate the palate as well. Some light spice and wood. Rather thin mouthfeel to me.

Dec 3, 2008 Dark amber color with a big tan head. Aroma of sour dark fruits and some spice. Flavor of dark fruits, some sourness, and a little chocolate.

Oct 31, 2008 Smell is grapes, alcohol, apple, fruits, very fruity. The look is clear red to amber in color. Sweetness and again lots of fruit in the taste. Tastes decent. Also some caramel.
