On tap at Ashley's Ann Arbor MI: Copper hue with no head or lace. Fruity (ripe pear?), sweet malt, fresh-cut wood, and vinous. Spicy sweet with a little hoppy balance. Medium to full-bodied, sticky and soft mouthfeel. and hint of astringent alcohol of the finish. An okay dubbel but lack punch and fullness to rate higher.

Apr 26, 2008 20070113 Tap at HDG Daze. Thin bodied, cardboard, floral, grainy. Honey sweetness. Redeeming grassiness but pretty lame all around.

Oct 11, 2007 On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with an off white head. Aroma, spices and lots of them, cloves, and yeast. Flavor, spices, again almost overpowering, some alcohol, yeasty, and doughy. Not bad.

Jul 6, 2007 Sampled from a growler @ DLD 4/28/07. Poured a clear golden color with a small eggshell head. Aroma is fruity and malty. The flavor has sweet malt, fruit, and spices. This wassomewhat interesting. Light mouthfeel. The alcohol (8%) is well hidden.

Jul 4, 2007 Parking lot of FFF’s on DL day from a growler. A nice golden pour with a light off white gooy lace. An aroma of Belgian yeast kinda corrianderish. A nice maltiness that lends to the overall complexity of this beer. A hint of bitter on the finish. I’m surprised to see that it was 8%.
