Jul 22, 2007 Bottle - July 2007. Ripe fruit, pruney, ripe bananas on the nose. Fruity, warm and inviting aroma. Hazy caramel color with a rather thin creamy tan head. Malty, toffee flavor, sweet but not cloying, rummy with a fruity ending. Medium full MF with some chewy malts. Aftertaste a bit short.
Nice, malty dubbel but a bit too unidimentional.

Jul 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours hazy dark caramel, thin off white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is port, plums, raspberries, grass. Very sweet aroma with hints of acetone. Flavor is dried fruit, wheat. On the watery side, weak body. Disappointing.

Jul 20, 2007 Courtesy of Kurtis Sea. Big tan head that sustains. Decent lace. Aromas provide a roasty chestnut and hint of caramel. Tastes are similar with a hint of cola and sour grape. High carbonation and full body. Good.

Jul 17, 2007 33 cL bottle. Wonderful aroma of dark fruits. Something of raisin bread. Opaque, dark color with a tan head. Thin to medium bodied. Sort of a dark bread taste, with some stewed dark fruit; not prune though. It coats the mouth with dark flavors, but it is not burnt or sweet. Suggests an overaged cask of Bombardier - tending towards earth. Arguably some yeast along with the dark bread. The finish is relatively dry, suggests dark flavors, and it is simply wonderful. I don’t have an adequate vocabulary to describe the complexity. I’d like to suggest fruit cake, but that’s just too light and too bready. This is it’s own wonderful thing.

Jul 10, 2007 750 ML Bottle-Poured a deep amber/red color w/a moderate beige head. Classic sweet Belgian aroma. Bread dough/yeast flavor on the front end w/ traces of dark fruit/plum, cane sugar, raisins, & dark rum. Had some spicy kick to it. but nothing crazy. Good earthy mouthfeel w/traces of peat & grapes. A little hot, could have used a little time to smooth it out. Solid Dubbel.
