omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden Nov 24, 2002 Bottled. Dark brown. Lively with yeast sediment and a very rich head. Estery aroma, apricot, or melon, or chewing gum or somewhere there around, The flavour is sweet and very clean. In fact there is just one lingering , fruity/estery flavour that lingers on all the way from the nose and into the finish. This beer is like playing a song on the piano on just one key. The first few seconds are nice, but after a couple of minutes it starts getting annoying. Oakes (6819), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 2, 2001 Sweet, flowery, aromatic maltiness; mellow, flowery flavour. muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Mar 26, 2002 Updated: Jan 1, 2004Appearance: dark brown with a hint of ruby, gigantic frothy head with remarkable staying power. Aroma very subtle with citrus, soft ripe pears and yeast. Body rather light and fizzy for a dubbel; flavor malty-sweet and effervescent, with dark sweet fruit and some hints of bitterness coming through at the end. Very good; I probably like the brewer's Amber more, but they are definitely one of Vermont's best. Eyedrinkale (3102), Beer Town, New York, USA May 14, 2004 Brown color with big head. Big malty flavor offset with a nice amount of hops creating a well balanced drink. I’d like a bit more spiciness, but oh well. jjpm74 (2878), Connecticut, USA Mar 10, 2005 Pours a nice murky brown typical of a dubbel. That’s pretty much where the similarities end. Taste is sweet with a string almost overpowering taste of banana and some minor afterhints of caramel. I have one more of these left and plan on drinking it in the near future.
