Jan 13, 2006 Looked quite nice when poured into the glass, medium size beige head on top of a deep ruby red body. Aroma is brown sugar then spice then dark fruit. Yeast stands out a bit more in the taste, some burnt meaty notes, light to medium in body, warming alcohol and a touch herbal.

Jan 12, 2006 Bottle shared with blankboy at Volo. Dark brown, small slick white head. Very sweet aroma - nutty. Sweet taste, syrupy, yeast. Nice, but simple and straight forward. Pretty flat really. Some bitterness at the end. Alcohol as it warms. Enjoyable, but nothing spectacular.

Jan 12, 2006 Bottle shared with tupalev at Bar Volo. Pours a murky reddish-brown with a small diminishing off-white head. Aroma of dark fruit, brown sugar, yeast, spices and alcohol. The flavour follows the aroma and is quite sweet. Thin bodied. It’s O.K. but it used to be much better.
boto (1319), Granby, Connecticut, USA
Jan 8, 2006 11.2 oz bottle: This one pours a cloudy, opaque mahogany brown color. There was almost no head on it, and it died off immediately. The aroma is quite nice. Many fruity scents in there, notably raisins, plums, and some others. The taste is quite good also. It is a tad sweet, and mainly consists of brown sugar, some caramel, a hint of alcohol, bananas and bit of yeastiness and breadiness. A full rich flavor. A very nice dubbel.
csbosox (1076), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
Jan 7, 2006 25.4oz bottle coded 09:16 K23K1. I have had this bottle in the cellar for 3-6 months. Served at 50° in my NB worthy glass. Reddish brown color, light bubbly haze, some floaties. Aroma is brown sugar, spice, banana bread, raisins, and dark fruits. The aroma seems similar to their quad. Smells really good. Full mouthfeel. The initial taste is dark brown sugar, raisins, plums, prunes, yeast, vanilla followed by the more of the same flavors along with some spicy bitterness and mild alcohol. The mouthfeel thins at the end. This is a good dubbel, but is not up to par with the belgian examples of the style.
