3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy brown with a thin but lasting beige head. Silky medium body with gentle medium-high carbonation.
Aroma: toffee malt, bandaid phenols, dark minerality, and a bit of fruity esters that give a sort of buttered toast with jam character.
Taste: biscuit and caramel malt, candy sugar, faint herbal hops, soft alcohol, bandaid phenols, a touch of light chocolate, and toast.
I like the appearance and body much better than most dubbels, and if not for the unpleasant phenols, this would score very high.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2012 On tap at Kick Off. Attractive-looking clear brown with little-to-no head. Caramel, licorice, and alcohol in the aroma. Super syrupy sweet taste. After a few sips I got over the sweetness and tasted some caramel notes, grape juice, and some spice. Overall it was enjoyable, but really just too sweet.
