Aroma is a sweet fruity scent. Color is a deep dark mahogany with very good carbonation and a thick tight light tan head. Taste is like liquid candy. Starting with a full body it goes down a little crisp with a foamy feel. Finish comes in with a rich sweet malt flavor and dried fruit tones then a mild Belgian yeast shows. After taste lets the fruit flavor stand out before warming you as the alcohol shows its self. This is a very good Dubbel, only down fall would be that the alcohol is a little strong on the end.

Pour is a deep dark red with a large tan head. Aroma is nice with some caramel malts and a nice dark fruit. Flavor is a little bland with some roasted malts and creamy sweetness. Alcohol is noticable. Not the best dubble by a long shot.

On tap at Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. The glass seems a bit contaminated with smoke, but I get a bit of winey smell of plum. Smooth and malty wiith sweet yeastyness. I need a bottle at home for proper appreciation. It’s delicious.
