Nice beer, but it needs to be warm before it tastes good, and I mean ’nearly room temperature’ warm. Aroma is a nice and slightly bitter one note caramel scent. Strong taste, not terribly subtle, but good. Aftertaste isn’t the best, but it has one and it’s a step above average, though woody in the negative sense. Very malty though, in its favor.

Straight up Dubbel. Brown. Lots of malt. Some fruit. From what I remember...ever rate a beer that you have had but now are wondering what you experienced exactly? At what point do our ratings merge? Blur? Become the same? Right here.

Poured a Dark Amber color with a light brown head that fully diminised. Aroma of dark fruits and spice. Tastes similar to the aroma. Salty sour milk finish with some moderate alcohol present. Light bodied and just a tad watery. Overall a pretty decent beer.
