Jan 15, 2006 Updated: Jun 27, 2006Pours an opaque coffee brown with a big ol’ creamy tan head. Aromas were faint, getting some strawberry, floral bouquet, alcohol. Flavor felt heavy with alcohol until it warmed, then was nearly non-existent. Raisins, orchard fruits (pears and sweet apples), and malt dominate the flavor. Finished surprisingly clean. Man, this is real good after it warms a bit. My fiance’s favorite beer.

Jan 11, 2006 Rum and raisins with a hint of smoky malts on the nose. Pours a dark brown with a nice cream head that laces the glass. Flavor is spicy on the tongue with a buttery rum-like body and a fuity malt finish. I also get notes of coconut and a nuttiness like roasted almonds. Dry with a medium body and plenty of fizz. A well crafted and balanced dubbel.

Jan 8, 2006 Big fluffy head errupted out of the bottle after opening on one of the 12 oz bottles. Very malty with a delicous balance of choclate, roasted something and fruit flavor. No hint of the usual alcohol found in most dubbels.

Jan 7, 2006 Bottle. Amber brown, medium, frothy, beige head. Aroma is spicy, yeasty. Flavor is very spicy, coriander/ginger, and slight yeast with a bit of fruit. Not as yeasty as I would imagine. Very bubbly mouth feel.

Jan 6, 2006 Pours a reddish brown, near mahogany. Off white foamy head. Somewhat cloudy. Smells of yeast, apples, brown sugar, raisins, and a tad of EtOH. Begins with a very dry woody apple flavor. Molasses and raisins come into the mix near the middle, although still very dry. Finishes on a dry yeasty note, thinning out somewhat significantly near the end. This could be a perfect beer if it had some more malts to sweeten it up to the tenth degree and add to the semi light body. A bit too much carbonation as well. Wait a minute, this stuff is really dry! Wheres my malt? Still somewhat of an enjoyable experience.

Jan 1, 2006 A pretty good Dubbel. Kind of sweet, strong tasting. Nice brown color. Main flaw is it is WAY overcarbonated!
