Bottle. Hazy, dark bronze with a thick tan head. Earthy aroma with hints of fruit and wood. Fruity flavours with chocolate notes, earth and some wood. Dry and salty finish. A very well-balanced beer with a lot going on.

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 8.0%. Copper coloured beer, large off-white head. Lovely aroma, vinous and fruity, also oaky and spicy notes. The flavour is VERY oaky and spicy, fairly sweet, with a fruity finish. Salty and bitter aftertaste. Powerful stuff!

Bottled sample via gregclow. Amber in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of caramel and bright berry friut. Some caramel malt in the mouth, along with moderate dried fruit and some woody bitterness. Some drying (vaguely chalky) flavors on the finish. Quite dry for a dubbel, and a bit on the thin side, but the dryness makes it all the more drinkable.

Pours brown with a tanish head. Aroma of roasted malt and candied fruit. Flavors of brown sugar, very silky. Nice.

500 ml bottle thanks to blankboy. Brown pour with decent head. Classic dubbel aromas. Brown sugar. Some dried fruit. More of the same on the flavor. Alcohol well hidden. Pretty good.

This beer floods out of the bottle and the foam keeps coming and coming for a long while. It’s dark brown wit a huge head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and plum. The flavour has light sweetness and notes of caramel, plum, citrus, fruit and the bitterness in the finish is citrussy. As it’s a dubbel I would have liked more body, but it’s still a nice beer.
