Jan 31, 2008 Very good beer. It’s got a banana-like taste that you’ll find in hefeweizens. However, if you go to New Belgium, go with the Abbey Grand Cru.

Jan 28, 2008 I did not care for this beer..it wasn’t bad, but I did not find it very good.....I made a beer like this before and thought thought the temperature was off due to the alcohol spicyness....Apparently, from seeing the score, people like this flavor.....Aroma is nice, color and off white head was very good, and mouth feel was good....but I just do not like the flavor and spice of this beer.

Jan 22, 2008 Nice dubbel in many ways. Pour was nice..a deep amber with a 2 finger tan head. Aroma was amazing...strong yeast and dark fruits filled the nose with a sweet malt note. Taste nothing like the aroma suggested. Strong vinous flavor with hints of dark fruit and a flat alcohol taste in the back of the throat. Very thin and watery with only mild carbonation. A good dubbel but my expectations were higher.

Jan 13, 2008 Aroma is harsh burnt malts with banana and honey with little else. Appearence is a clear light brown with some red and a smallish head. Taste is odd, not anything like an Abbey Dubbel. Tastes like a watery porter but with elements of the aroma, not the biggest fan. Goes down dry and fizzy. Suprised at the 92 percentile.

Jan 13, 2008 Complex flavors, small to no head. Great after taste, strong yeast taste. Almost biscuity.

Jan 13, 2008 Thanks lb4lb. Dark burgundy color with a tiny white head. Aroma is lots of banana with a touch of smoke. Taste is a little watery but again the banana, some candi sugar and a touch of smoke in the finish. Roastiness and a bit of chocolate come out as it warms. Slightly sweet and fruity with roasted malts hiding in the background and banana throughout. Not bad at all but just thin for the style.

Jan 9, 2008 Almost reminds me of a birch beer without the sweetness, if you can imagine that. Mostly dry with enough sweetness to balance it out. Could use a bit more complexity in the flavor department.

Jan 7, 2008 Aroma of sweet candy sugar. Pours dark amber. Tastes of sweet malt, candy sugar, and a bit fruity. A bit thin for a dubbel.
