blackmurder (164), sadf, Hawaii, USA May 11, 2008 A pretty good beer. Had this one out of the bottle so can’t comment on apperance much. It tasted pretty smooth though, a good drinking brown beer. Would have been better colder. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA May 7, 2008 i like this beer, it’s tasty. fruity with a bubbly mouthfeel, taste of bananas and raisins. from bottle at Denver airport. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA May 3, 2008 Tap on the brewery. Dark copper/brown with a very light head. Aroma is yeast and clove and banana. Tastes the same as the smell. Middle of the road dubble. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA May 2, 2008 12 oz, at the Denver airport NB brewpub. Darkish copper-brown and clear, with a sorta lasting head. Aroma is dryish yeast, estery bubblegum and slight banana. Flavor is the same, with some slight nutty roast. Near-medium body is neither smooth nor astringent, and is suitably dry on the finish. OK dubbel, but a bit disappointing. mmather (113), Colorado, USA Apr 16, 2008 from bottle and tap from the brewery also aged in my cellar. Pours a beautiful caramel color with a thick long lasting head. Wonderful blend of alcohol, caramel, malty sweetness and the yeasty esters. Works very well in the cellar and improves until about 6 months old. Gradual degradation usually starts after about 9 months, but is still really good until about a year old. the 6 Month old versions are the best IMO garretjax (103), Colorado, USA Apr 16, 2008 A clear chestnut brown color with a coarse thin white head. Sweet malt scent of maple syrup and roasted malts and yeast. Medium to full bodied and somewhat high carbonation. Flavor of roasted malts, maybe a tinge of banana, and dark fruits. A unbalanced finish thats kind of vapid. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Apr 12, 2008 pour is brown with a red tint, large off-white head, good lacing.
smell is slightly sour, some caramel, grape and prune, a little spice in the back.
taste is thick, dark fruit (prune, raisin, etc...), some spice, some caramel, nice mouth-feel and aftertaste. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 11, 2008 This one came straight from Rollinhard. Poured a deep red almost brown. Low tan head with some thick lacing. Yeast and fruit aromas. Some cherry and plum. Nice malt profile where the fruit comes through again with some big cherry flavors again. Nice drink with a slightly sweet finish.
