Bottle. Dark chesnut cola-ish colour murky body. Small loose tan head. Strong lacing on the glass. Sweet orange-peel candy, malty flavours. Citrus zest. Sweet candy finish into malt. Great desert beer, maybe a bit too sugary.

Jul 21, 2008 This beer pours a deep copper colour- deep yet somewhat clear. Head is medium sized, beige colour. Aroma is very pleasent, and fruity- taste is rich in fruit as well- plums, ripe black cherry and macintosh apples. excellent flavor, very smooth.

Jul 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Nose is promising with a nice chocolate toffee aroma with some yeast. Nice dark mahogany color with a good sized beige head. Taste is alot of brown and candi sugar with some light caramel and a off putting metallic aftertaste. A bit to heavy on the carbonation. Long yeasty finish with some nice nutty notes. Not bad but not great either. If it were not for the metallic taste this would have scored a 3.8 or so.

Jul 16, 2008 This used to be one of my favourites, until I discovered there are more beers than the ones you can buy in the supermarket. Dark brown/red colour, off white head. Looks great in its glass! Aroma of brown sugar, caramel, some fruits. Taste is mainly caramel and brown sugar, slightly metallic, a little sourish aftertaste, some alcohol Sweetness becomes cloying after a while, there’s just too much of it.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle. Not a great dubbel for me. Toffee, brown sugar, sweetness up to the knackers. Too much sweet for me to like. Not awful, it’s drinkable but I would not buy this when I can get much better dubbels.
