kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Jun 25, 2008 Dark amber with nice sized brown head. Big fruity nose with hints of sweetness and yeast. Flavor was very fruity, dried fruit, caramel and yeast. Just a touch of bitterness, but very well balanced and nice touch of sweetness on the finish. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 24, 2008 An old rating i finally got to entering. Aroma of dark fruits and yeast with a lot of maltiness too. Flavor was smooth and not much alcohol. This was a really solid beer. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jun 24, 2008 August 2007 bottling. Brown with a foamy tan head. Aromas of roasted nuts, smoke, mild cocoa with some earthy Dubbel sweetness. Frothy medium body. Nice taste of char and smoke with earthy sweet flavors of cocoa, black licorice and rootbeer. Like this one better than most Belgian brewed Dubbels. BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 19, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks Nick. Pours dark brown with a large, frothy, light brown head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw), average hops (perfume), heavy yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of alcohol, banana, raisin, and plum. Full bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a metallic finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness. cmillward (419), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 18, 2008 Bottle @ ORL throwdown, courtesy of redlight. This pours dark brown with a cream head about a finger tall. Yum, dark fruit wafts above rich caramel malts and yeasty phenols. Sweet to taste, with dark fruits and yeast notes tempered by a mild bitterness. The mouthfeel is amazing, this beer dances on my tongue, very nice carbonation. BlackForestCO (819), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jun 15, 2008 Updated: Feb 18, 2009Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a cola-brown color with tan highlights and a thin beige head. Aroma of dark fruit (plum), raisin, light caramel and bubble gum, and a moderate yeastiness. Smooth, lightly funky entry with some light caramel lead into fruity undertones of plum, raisin, and fig. Light yeastiness on the finish. Smooth, moderately slick mouthfeel. Pretty nice. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 15, 2008 Pours an opaque dark brown with a huge foamy offwhite head that gives you that added texture. Subtle roasted coffe flavors in the background with some wood and nuttiness as well. Finish has a touch of sweetness. Aroma is predominately yeast. Focusing back on the flavors again, getting some cocoa as well accompanied by a chalky kind of texture. Really nice as far as this style goes. Big ups to maltOmeal for forwarding this one. JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Jun 15, 2008 Pours a dark dark brown with large sticky light tan head. Complex and full bodied, strong flavors of chocolate, plum, fig, caramel, raisin, bready malt, toffee, spice (clove), vanilla, and bits of floral hops. Smooth, mouth coating, and full bodied. This is a wonderful dubbel.
