On tap at the 2005 GCBC: Clear deep copper color with a well-lacing off-white head. Heavy spiced caramel musky aroma has some bready yeast character. Body starts with a grainy malty sweetness, a touch of fresh hops and a drier earthy finish. An interesting Belgian ale, but could use some more sweet malty balance.

Jan 24, 2006 2005 GCBC. Coppery brown pour with a medium sized head. Caramel malty aroma with spice, and some subdued Belgian yeast notes. More sweet caramel malty flavors, with some estery medium dark fruits and more notes of that yeast character.

Nov 6, 2005 Pours dark amber with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma is toasted malt, coriander, and apricot. Taste is sweetish malts, raisin, and toffee. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with mild carbonation. Doesn’t taste like any dubbel I’ve had.
