On tap at the General Lafayette Inn. Poured a medium mahogany color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of plums, cherries and light yeast. Tastes of cherries, plums, and candi sugar. Medium sweet. Has a light, tart cherry finish to it. Tasty - my favorite out of the 3 new GLI beers I had there today.

Hazy ruby with aromas of fruit, cabernet, bready malt, hops, melon, cherries, berries. Tastes of caramel malt, Brett, candi sugar, figs, berries, and cherries. Complex aroma and taste, and another winner from GLI.

Poured a hazy maroon color with a small tan head that left nice lacing. Aroma of yeast, dark fruits, and some raspberry. Yeast was strong in the taste, also followed by malt, bitter grapes, melon, plums, some spice and candy sugar. A nice dubbel.

This was a pretty good dubbel overall. Pours a deep dark ruby amber with a nice off white head and leaves nice lace. Aroma is moslty fruity esters but not overpowering, raisin and plum, dark crystal malts and lightly yeasty. Thick cdark crystal malts- special B- lots of fruity dark candied fruits and raisin- thick sweet caramel and light fruity yeast. Very smooth overall, and not too overcarbed or dry in the end which many dubbles tend to have (which I dont like too much). I really liked this.
