| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2008 Draft @ Bullfrog. Pours a dark, murky cola-brown color; light tan head with excellent, fine-bubbled lacing. Brown sugar, pepper, and esters in the aroma; a solid dubbel profile. Very lively in the mouth: fluffy brown sugar, cola, and Belgian sugars; slightest creamy malt heft; well-attenuated, well-balanced, and very drinkable; none of that abrasive brown sugar or muddled character of lesser dubbels; straightforward and solid. Lengthy, brown sugar and estery finish; some basic sugar and dough. Nate (2540), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 15, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Sweet malty roasted grains with light fruity esters and a nice bit of hops presence. Dark amber clear with and off-white lacing head. Medium-heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Great malt start, sweet with heavy malt presence, red licorice, mild diacetyl, some molasses and candi sugar. A bit of ozone burn which is odd, but overall a good sweet dubbel with some estery yeastiness. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Growler from Kramer17801. The pour is dark brownish and ruddy, with khaki head. Aroma of caramel scotchy malts, a solid dose of dark fruit (figs, cherry), banana, and some brown sugar. Medium palate with caramel malt in the flavor, plus toffee, brown sugar, some cherry, figs, and a little finishing cognacy heat. Nicely done, and a solid selection for my Bullfrog cherry-popping! mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2006 On tap at BCTC. Deep reddish brown in color with a little off white head. Fruity malty aroma. Bananas, raisins and plum notes. Fruity spicey flavor. Raisin and peppery notes. Finish is dry. Sweet. Medium bodied. Nice beer. FROTHINGSLOSH (2000), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2005 Updated: Jun 28, 2006I am fond of Dubbels in general but was a bit underwhelmed by this one. Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a medium dark brown with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a hint of alcohol burn. The flavor is sweet with heavy Belgian candi sugar notes. The malts are milder than I would expect from this style. The alcohol burn dominates this one too much. The finish is a bit sharp and biting. egajdzis (3625), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 8, 2005 Poured a burgandy color with a thin, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana chips, coconuts, and yeast. Taste of raisins, prunes, cherries, and yeast, peppery alcohol leading way to a dry finish. Lubiere (4518), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
