| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Feb 15, 2009 This one bothers me because all of the ingredients for a fantastic beer are there but in the end it just comes out missing something. Complex? Yes. Tasty? Yes? Easily drinkable? Absolutely. Just missing something to tie all of this together. I do wish we could get it here in PA because I feel I need to try a few more to pinpoint the issue here.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Clear dark brown amber with a one finger pale yellow head. Modest amount of lacings. Aroma is slightly fermented fruit. Taste is fermented black cherries, a touch of prune, banana, and a hint of chocolate. Reminds me a bit of a Black Forest cake. I can’t separate the hops but the bitterness is there in the finish. The mouthfeel is quite nice with the carbonation flowing over the tongue. Alcohol is apparent but well masked in the taste. Overall a pleasant and very drinkable Dubbel from NB. Drink by date was Aug. 2009. dwaggs2 (534), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA

Nice roasty yeast smell with a hint of some spice and some dried fruit. Nice spicy dark fruit flavor with a hint of bubblegum and some yeast. Very tasty offering from a brewery I usually find it easy to discount.
