shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Mar 18, 2008 Pours a deep amber color with an off white head. Is carame,l prune, spicy, herbal, and some peppery hops. Flavor is caramel, prune, herbal, and some peppery hops. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Mar 14, 2008 Draft at City Beer Store. Clear reddish brown, moderate head, some lacing. Aroma is sugary, somewhat yeasty, notes of darker fruit. I gotta be honest though, once I saw they had RR Beatification, I lost interest in this immediately. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Mar 13, 2008 Bottled, BB 5/9/08. Poured crystal clear garnety-amber with at least a couple inches worth of sticky beige head. The aroma was dry with peppery spices and cloves over sweet plums and other dark fruits.. nice components, but there was an overriding airy detergent character to it. The flavor was just what I was looking for.. initial white peppery impression with a dark fruit and dry caramel backing.. fruity middle with a big, Belgian-y yeast footprint.. dry finish with the aforementioned fruit, faint chocolate, and caramel.. very well-balanced and enjoyable. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with peppery yeast and cloves very well interlaced. Very good brew! DaMenace123 (250), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 13, 2008 Dark brown pour with a nice head. Got a growler at the brewery. Sweet aroma. Flavor has chocolate, caramel, sweet fruit. Very nice beer. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Mar 12, 2008 Updated: Mar 13, 2008Had on tap at City Beer in SF. Poured a very nice dark amber brown color. Sweet malty smell. Taste was sweet malts, a bit of citrus, and bananna...A VERY mild, and wayyyy too drinkable dubbel...I was giddy after one glass that I most likely drank way too fast! blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle, nice amber color with banana nose and off white head, lots of caramel and some malt , nice carbonation and finish mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Mar 2, 2008 deep brown color with a thin layer of cream froth on top. huge malts and fruits on the nose. great thickness and the flavor is a distinct belgian taste. hiddenvariable (194), pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 28, 2008 bottle. pours a deep red amber with a big off white head, which fades slowly and leaves behind huge sheets of lacing. nutty spicy malt scents, with anice, coriander, grape, raisin, black cherry, and some bready malt. the bread malt dominates the taste, with some spices, notes of pears, grapes, and raisins. light bittersweet finish, medium body, lots of carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. the spice and malt and esters in this blend together perfectly, and you get a really solid belgian brew as a result.
