Jul 5, 2008 This is a delicious brown ale that I’ll take any day over Newcastle. Newcastle’s good, but this one’s much better. It’s got more flavor, it’s sweeter, smoother, and the aftertaste is better too. Hard to believe it’s 6.5% ABV. You won’t even realize it until you’ve had a few of them and catch a buzz.

Jun 27, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008A clear brown colored beer, with a beige foamed head. The aroma has caramel and roasted malts in it. The taste is fruity sweet, with roasted malts, a little bitter. Then there is a sweet/bitter aftertaste. Good beer but nothing special.

Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Jul 26, 2008A classic. I got shwasted off this bad boy until 2 am and was pwn3d 6 hours later at work. Enjoyed at Vol de Nuit in nyc but also had a small sample of this at Gingerman’s in SoNo, CT. Poured on the darker side. Notes of yeast and dough, maybe some raisin.

Jun 21, 2008 [750ml bottle from Sainsbury’s, Reading, shared with Jim to celebrate him moving house] Deep but lively brown with a moderate lasting beige head. Far too fizzy - this would be better with a softer carbonation. Flavour is some burnt malts but increasingly tastes just of muscovado suger/ molasses. A sticky, bittersweet finish. Pleasant enough but a little one-dimensional.

Jun 19, 2008 A great complex Belgium beer. It starts out sweet and then ends with a nice dry finish. A great balance of sweetness and dryness, which is difficult to find!

Jun 16, 2008 Pours a clear caramel coloured body with a medium sized, ice cream like head that has a vanilla colour. Aromas of vanilla as well as syrup and toast. flavors of pancakes, earth and walnuts. The head leaves a very sticky lacing. a tastey beer, a tad on the sweet side for me. but very enjoyable.

Jun 7, 2008 330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cool in a tulip glass.
App.: Slightly reddish brown, decent greyish-tan head.
Aroma: Loads of yeast and fresh bread dough, some light spices and minty herbals, caramel and toffee, a bit of dark dried fruits,
Palate: Medium body and soft but present effervescence.
Flav.: Still plenty of yeasty and bread dough, the more spice raisins than the nose, a fair bit of toffee and treacle, light minty herbals, lightly nutty; almost a dirty yeast finish that isn’t very pleasant.
It is nice to have this in the LCBO and to find it on tap, though it isn’t my favourite Dubbel.
