3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Wakie (612) - Centreville, Virginia, USA - JUN 21, 2007The first thing you notice about this beer is it has an odd appearance. Not so much deep and dark as it is murky. The aroma is ginger and fig. A little on the unusual bend. The taste though is heavy in the raisin puree but unfortunately unimpressive. Felt as though this beer promised a lot but fell short.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff mai-13: Aroma og smak av mørk kandis, rosier (som er brukt i bryggingen), fiken, svisker og kandiserte frukter. Sherrypreg uten å være for søt. En ret dejlig øl i min favorittstil! Send flasken hit igjen...

Pours a copper color with a slight sweet raisin aroma. Taste is of raisin mixed with sugar, easy on the palatethe. A quickly dissipating aftertaste throughout the beer. Easy drinking for the alcohol percentage. A good beer for the style.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 GothGargoyle (565) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 14, 2013
Clear brown with a pale head. Aroma is raisins, honey, caramel. Slightly sticky mouthfeel, sweet on the palate. Taste is raisins, caramel, figs. I was a little disappointed by this - it wasn’t a great example of a Dubbel and given that they say "Ale Brewed With Raisins" on the label I was expecting the raisin character to be a little more forward.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ericdevin (234) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - APR 8, 2013
Bottle from Jason + Elizabeth. Pours a medium brown, slight off-white head. Aroma presents as very sweet, sugary, maybe brown sugar or cane sugar? Body is medium, finish very abrupt, perhaps even disappointingly so. Not much warming, and just kind of meh overall, especially for the style.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 annunz123 (629) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - APR 5, 2013
Bread, molasses, and raisins in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and bready with fruit and caramel. Finish has more hop bitterness than you usually get in a dubbel, but it balances things nicely. Love the style, love the beer.
