Sampled in a 12oz bottle. Pours light brown. Has a nice aroma to it, pretty sweet. Taste is very very malty. I think this is a really good brew. Drinks really nice and crisp. Great brew.

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2010 Bottle pour to Karmaliet glass gives clear cola color with brief thin white head. Aroma yeast, dark fruits, a bit medicinal. Nice lacing. Strong taste of banana with spices, cloves, malts, a bit of citrus. Mouth feel a bit thin. Minimal aftertaste.
It all pulls together for an interesting and tasty beer.

aroma is distinct burnt clove, bananas and phenols. smells exactly like a weizen bock to me! appearance is translucent deep caramel with patches of film head and practically zero lacing. flavor is rubbery phenols and weizen esters again, intense banana! i thought maybe my bottle was infected until i saw the mention of banana from everyone else. all in all, not offensive but this is not the character of a dubbel in my estimation.

UPDATED: MAY 13, 2010 Reddish brown pour, solid tan head. Sweet aroma, some fruit (banana) and slightly yeasty. Banana taste nicely balanced with malt and some sweet. Very balanced. Nice beer...

bottle on 4/11/10... pours a deep amber with a 1/4" white head... sweet sugar aromas with some raisin and dates... medium sweet body with some candy sugar, light yeast and medium carbonation... sweet finish... really nice overall... nice Belgian style with great flavors but lacks some spice and depth.

Clear reddish amber with beige head and considerable lacing. Aroma is malt and banana. Taste is similar with enough hops to provide some balance. Creamy with a long finish. Overall a very nice dubbel.

This beer is a nice change from the ov er hoped DIPAs and Barley Wines that I enjoy. It’s also a nice change from the super malty Stouts and Double Bocks that Iove. Anyways this is how I break this beer down. The aroma is sweet and alcoholic. The malt provides a sweetness b ut not overly so. Hops are just their to provide balance against the malt, nothing more. The yeast strain gives this beer a spicey taste. This is one of my favorite beers that I’ve been enjoying for as many years as I’ve been able to purchase it here in this Bible Belt midwestern town. I hpe to be enjoying this beer for as long as I am able to enjoy beer.

Head is light tan and thick,lasting throughout. Color is dark reddish brown. Taste heavy on the banana,also clove, brown sugar, nutmeg,slightly bitter hop and very sweet flavors combined. Medium to heavy body. Great aftertaste. Just a fantastic beer from the group......One of the best.
