(110408) DA (2280), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Apr 20, 2008 Pours very dark copper with a fast falling beige head. I thought this was flat and a bit watery overall, lack crispness and esters. Mild flavors of cherry and caramel, sort of soft chocolate note, but I didn’t get much out of this, flat, bland and kinda boring for a dubbel.
