Mar 25, 2009 22 oz. bottle via trade with Brigadier - Pours a clear deep mahogany color with a 3/4 finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is sweet toasted malt, spice, and esters. Flavor is sweet malt and esters. Medium body. Doesn’t have that big yeast presence I’ve come to expect with most Belgian ales. A nice beer. Thanks Nathan.

Mar 20, 2009 Fairly thin head. Nice dark copper color. Aroma is pretty concentrated chestnuts and nutmeg. Flavor is lightly sweet with a pretty dark roasted malt aspect for the style. A few hints of DMS on the finish, otherwise, pretty nice.

Jan 16, 2009 Pours a copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel and roasted malts, with some dark fruits, nutmeg, clove, and candied sugar. Flavor wasn’t really as strong as I was hoping but there’s enough there. Malty flavor of the caramel and roasted malts dominate. Hints of spice and candied sugar on the finish. Decent for an ohio brewed dubbel.

Jan 13, 2009 Pretty solid Dubbel. Picked this up in Cleveland. Pours the wonderful dark amber of Dubbels, with a pencil thin white head, and minimal lacing. Aroma is slightly lacking, with the candy and sugar you would expect lingering, but faint. Flavor makes up for this, with a nice mix of candied fruit and sugar, with a helping of yeast and a nice malt profile. Solid backbone as well. Nice combo if dark fruits and spice; raisins, figs, ginger, cinnamon. Touch of roasted nuts. Slightly boozey at only 7%, but a nice offering nonetheless.

Dec 31, 2008 22oz bottle. thanks to my perfect 10 partner, brad...pours a clear transparent raisin brown with a thin film of white head that quickly diminishes.... aroma led off with nuttiness at first then some caramel malts and dark fruit...maintains a sweet candied sugar consistency in the flavor and dark fruits in the background. finish has a little spicy bitterness. lively carbonation not too bad for a style that im not too particularly fond of.
