Oct 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Filtered caramel amber-brown color. Big fluffy head. Sweet malty aroma, with some fruity nuances. Lots of caramel medium malt tones, with some solid yeasty fruitiness as well. Very fresh, clean mouthfeel, a lot more authentic tasting than your typical US version. Quite a solid beer.

Sep 28, 2009 Banana notes. Tastes like beer. Did I mention that I’m drunk. Wow I’ve had a lot. This tastes good though. I give it a 6.9?!? 69 with a period in the middle.

Sep 27, 2009 bottle received as an extra in a trade. Pours a clear, brownish-red with a big, off-white head. Nice lacing. Nose is of bubblegum. Taste is the same as aroma. Mouthfeel is creamy and carbonated.

Sep 25, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a medium tea-brown color; off-white head with ok retention and solid, fine-bubbled lacing. Aroma shows a strong clove note first and foremost, with a chewy banana / Belgian ester core below; a well-balanced, generous approach. Nice, approachable levels of carbonation on this one. Medium mouthfeel: cloves and sweet Belgian esters again serve as the central point here: crackers, brown sugar, and a permeating banana character; a really nicely balanced, solid dubbel, if a touch straightforward: there’s nothing denser underneath (or maybe there is, with a bit of vanilla and maple syrup; quite soft), but I could drinks loads of this. Nicely drinkable rendition. Lasting finish of breadiness, clove, and lightly toasted malts; well-balanced end.

Sep 15, 2009 Another beer i’ve been dying to try for a while that i had at the beer tasting today. Glad i went home with a few! Pours a deep chestnut brown. Roasted and toasty on the nose, decent aromas like french vanilla or something odd coffee aroma. Taste is flavourful with generous amounts of malts but perfectly well balanced in the finish.

Sep 14, 2009 Bottle - Pours a clear, rosy amber with very little head. Smells of light spice and wheat. Taste is a little oaky, spicy, and yeasty, with some banana notes. It’s a bit thin and watery, and really not too interesting. It’s smooth, but pretty boring.
