nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 13, 2008 22oz. Dark brown pour, pale golden around the edges. Really well balanced, and round, malty aroma. Dark fruit, cocoa, alcohol. There’s a little buttery note in there too, toffee. Flavor is similar, almost mirroring the aroma - pretty impressive. Chalky cocoa finish, a little coffee in the end. Bubbly and silky in the mouth. Bitter almonds in the finish. Excellent, the best dubbel I’ve had hands down. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Jun 11, 2008 Updated: Jul 30, 2008bomber. This pours a dark brown with a large tan head. Had great lacing. Nose is of vinous fruit and brown sugar. Taste is of vinous fruit - raisins - and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is medium and coats the tongue wonderfully. It is sweet, yet the alcohol is barely noticeable. Very nice. jake65 (1658), Williston, North Dakota, USA Jun 4, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown with a large tan head, thick lacing. Aroma is fruity and light (for the color) with some caramel and roastiness. Bits of vinous. Flavor is rich and smooth with dark fruits, little bits of cloves, some roast, and hints of dates. A little warming sensation comes through as well. Nice and smooth, easy to sip on this 22oz for three hours... WeeHeavySD (2942), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jun 3, 2008 Bomber via a trade a long time back, shared with my girlfriend Cyn who called for a Belgian beer from the beer fridge. Pours dark brown with a 1 finger creamy tan had. Nose is ridiculously sweet and very very nice. Taste is sweet, chocolately and overall quite nice. Very nice rich dubbel. I likey. Rciesla (3515), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jun 2, 2008 Bottle thanks Vferg. Great bottle art. Pours a hazy mahogany body with a moderate 3 finger white head. Aroma is slightly stale dry Belgian yeast, spices, some light sweet malt. Has an odd kick in the finish its dry with a lot of caramel malt. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Jun 1, 2008 Courtesy redlight. Pours a dark brown, with a small light tan head. Smells of sweet dark fruits, lots of caramel malt, and some sweet apples and plums. The flavor is consistent with the nose, as the dark fruits are seemingly dominant, but not overly sweet. The malts balance it out almost perfectly to the point where I need more sips of this. The finish is nice and crisp, with some raisins and plums leaving traces behind on the palate. Wonderful abbey dubbel here. PhillyBeer2112 (2084), Orange Park, Florida, USA Jun 1, 2008 Throwdown. Garnet brown. Lightly roasty with a touch of caramel and fruit. Herbal with a touch of raisins. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA Jun 1, 2008 Wow! this is from alaska? what a treat wonderfull roasted malt flavor with lots of other comlpex flavors that are nicely balanced chocolat plum vanilla raisin nice clean finish.
