Jun 14, 2004 Updated: May 31, 2005Clear ruby with a thin off-white small-bubbled head. Sweet aroma with dark fruits (plums), medium bodied, sugary sweet tastes. Ends a bit watery.

May 13, 2004 Hazy mahogany with an of white head. I smell corn silage from my Grandparents farm. I guess I know why the cows dig this shit so much. Quite sweet with some raisin conotations in the middle. Not the best dubbel I have had...kinda reminds me of the Lake Placid Dubbel Bogey.

May 13, 2004 Aroma is sweet and sugary. Kind of strong. Pours a hazy mahogany with an off-white head. Start is VERY sweet and VERY MALTY. I mena it’s decent, but nothing extraordinary. I reckon im going to give it a -1 point for appearance due to the trailer park label.

Nov 2, 2003 Dark ruby copper color with a thin light tan, short-lived head and mostly flat body. Sugary dark malt aroma with some fruitiness. Thin watery mouthfeel has a light sourness and plenty of sweetness to mask the alcohol quite well. Finishes sticky and sugary. Has a somewhat authentic bready Belgian malt character and hints of Belgian yeast. A decent dubbel, but not one of McNeill's better brews.

Oct 20, 2003 Candi sugar and maple throwing their sweetness around to distract the confused tastebuds...Dirt and watery trashcans are mistakenly knocked over and the damage is irreparable...Caught in the chaos of a barley wine/brown ale interregnum...

Oct 20, 2003 Half of a 660mL bomber into a Delirium Tremens glass. Body is chocolate milk brown with very low carbonation, off-white head is barely there, making just a ring around the glass. Weird nose for a dubbel: Where I expected dark berries and fruitiness was a vegetable touch, not particularly appealing, but classic vanilla and black chocolate are also there to save us from the disaster (a bland dubbel?!!). The taste is more interesting and complex than the aroma. Sweet chocolate bars slowly become bitter. The alcohol shows its nose together with a slight salty peak. The mouthfeel is a little thin and lacking as well. It's indeed not a typical dubbel and it's almost hard to understand why Mcneills would brew this (not representative of their qualities, it's not a good introduction to micros, their most hardcore fans just like pure belgians fans won't find this particularly attractive neither... anyway, I'm not here to judge, but to rate:)
