Draft @ the brewpub. Pours an amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty spicy dark fruit aroma. Fruity malty spicy weak yeasty dark fruit flavor with hints of caramel. Has a fruity malty spicy dark fruit finish.

Tap. Pours clear deep ruby amber with a small tan head and some lacing. Aroma is molasses, dried fruits, zest, caramel, spices. Flavor is medium sweet and light zesty bitter. Meh.

Amber colored pour with a khaki head. Nice dark fruit aroma of dates, grapes, and raisins. Brown sugar, yeast, and some mild spice. A nice toasted malt aroma and a hint of roast. The flavor is fairly sweet with some brown sugar, caramel, toasted malt, and fruit. Plenty of grape flavor, dates, raisins, and plums, too. Subtle roast and chocolate on the finish. Just a hint of alcohol.

San Diego Strong Ale Fest 2012. Hazy brown color with ivory head. Dark fruit, toffee, caramel, spicy belgian yeast aromas. medium body with average co2. Nice earthy sweet caramel, dark fruit, spicy yeast flavors, warming finish--good.

Growler. Pours a dark amber, with off-white head. Banana, fruit, sweetness, lightly yeasty, and bread. Not that interesting, but still not bad.

Nose is spicy, some clove, plums and toasty grains. Pours a murky dark amber, off-white head with decent retention. Flavor is towards the plum and spices, slightly sweet and malty. Medium-full body and medium carbonation.

Draught at the brewpub. It kinda surprised me this was a dubbel. It was tasty, malty and sweet but maybe missing some of the more Belgian yeast notes and esters. Nice though.

On tap. Pours a hazy brown body with a lasting tan head. Brown sugar and banana aromas, chocolate and Belgian esters. Lightly grain and biscuity. Very sweet, raspberry and plum flavors. Lightly nutty. Maybe a bit under attenuated. Lively bubbles.
