HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jun 4, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared by blankboy with garthicus. Clear ruby-amber with a small wispy beige head. Aroma of banana, cloves, sweet caramel malt, sweet yeast and a hint of spoiled milk. Taste follows, softer, no milk, with peach and apple, slightly dry spice - really smooth. Average lightly syrupy body, spicy and a hint of alcohol in the finish. Really dig the taste. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 31, 2008 Pours a very dark clear amber with a small beige froth on top. Sweet caramel apple, raisin and grape aroma, tootsie roll, belgian yeast. Very straight forward flavor, almost like a doppelbock. Rich dark malt flavor, some grape and raisins. Sweet caramel apple finish with a touch of yeast. Medium body, watery, light carbonation, slightly syrupy. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA May 27, 2008 some spice yeasty malt nice heading just ok it seems like it was just thrown together. not as good as there others dmac (1423), Toms River, New Jersey, USA May 23, 2008 12 oz bottle from lb4lb, thanks Deniz. Pours a deep mahogany, so what if I took that description from the label it’s pretty acurate, with an average size foamy light beige head. Aroma of toffee, raisin, bread and plums. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a creamy finish. Flavor is actually a step down from the aroma with lots of yeast, grainy malts and only slight fruitiness present. An average beer for an average beer drinker. chicagodri (1020), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 21, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Nice aroma of cloves, fruit, and the usual yeast smell. Actually had some nice flavor to it as well. A little bit of a bitter aftertaste. Nice banana flavor. I liked it more than I thought I would. BrotherJoe (12), Iowa, USA May 21, 2008 I was actually sort of disappointed with this upon first inspection. Aroma wasn’t quite as hefty as I expected, though there was a nice hint of vanilla in there. First taste is sharp but a smooth vanilla caramel round body with a slight hint of oakiness going into a slight alcohol warming. JustinFromAL (114), Birmingham, Alabama, USA May 16, 2008 One of my first dubels. Odor just as everyone else here describes. I started off with it a bit to cold and had to let it warm. Flavors really started to pop! f351c4v (404), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA May 16, 2008 Pours a clear, brownish amber color with an off-white head. Awesome aroma, bananas, cloves, yeasts... it’s all there. Malty body, yeasty, bread, maybe a hint of dark fruit. Not a bad attempt at a dubbel.
