Commercial Description:
Pleasantly malty with a subtle toffee nose. Some coffee notes. A superb interpretation of the Dubbel style.

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.

Appearance: 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.

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.

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.
