Jul 21, 2008 Candied mixed fruit nose with some baking spice, some dough and dust. Really dark reddish brown, almost opaque, lacing abounds after a nice 2 finger head. At first the beer had a metallic bite on the finish but that went away, I blame it on the carbonation, the beer was complete and not overly complex, a little more yeast balance would be nice. Overall, very nicely made brew at the right price, great intro to real belgian dubbels.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours brown with red to orange highlights and a moderate off-white head. Aroma is nice and fruity, bananas, apples some toast and caramel. Flavor fits the same description to me, but it’s smoothness stood out to me. Finish was pretty interesting, like it was some sort of earthy banana counterpart. Medium bodied, lightly textued for the style, but good and mostly authentic. You can’t find a better dubbel for the price that’s for damn sure!

Jul 12, 2008 Dark brown color with red highlights and a large slightly off-white head. Aroma is full of sweet banana and caramel with an element of spice. The flavor seems a bit thin at first after such a pleasant aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel. Enjoyable enough.

Jul 12, 2008 Updated: Sep 20, 2008A good, solid Belgian brew. Pours with a nice white head, and nice dark golden brown color. The taste is acceptable, but even as it warms it seems a little too sweet/fruity.
I like it, but perhaps I am tiring of Belgians.

Jul 7, 2008 The beer pours red amber with an organy white head. The is yeast, malt and light notes of burnt sugar. The taste lacks depth but has richness; I get lots of sweet caramel, yeast light citrus and spice. The finish is nice and dry. My favorite beer buy NB so far.

Jul 4, 2008 Nice dark brown colour, large creamy head. A complex aroma of fruit and nuts. Wonderful malty flavour, with a little added spice I can’t quite place. Overall a well done double.
