Jan 4, 2008 Pours deep tan with small and short lived head. Aroma a bit smoky. Flavor candyish with a hint of fruit tartness. The body is almost chewy, but not creamy. I have enjoyed this beer in the winter for years. It now seems to possess a bit to much caramel character.

Dec 30, 2007 Pours a dark opaque amber color with a white head. Has hints of caramel, Belgium yeast, candied sugar, and tart fruit. Finishes with a yeasty taste on the tongue.

Dec 23, 2007 From a 12-oz. bottle--Poured a dark clear chestnut body with a small rocky whitish head. Nose of spicy fruits and yeastiness. Great rich mouth feel. Mildly caramelly with good carbonation. Finished with a flavor of cherries and funky (in a good way) yeast. Nice bite and clean, crisp finish.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours reddish brown with almost no head and very slight lacing. Smell is sweet, of caramel and bubble gum. The flavor is caramel, and the yeast is definitely noticeable. Not overpowering, but not incredibly complex either. Aftertaste is sweet and entirely pleasant. Mouthfeel is good, but with more fizz than the head would suggest. Overall, a very good beer.

Dec 22, 2007 Updated: May 8, 2008Pours a dark brown/red with little head. Bubble-gum and dried fruit aroma that tends to be a bit chemical-ish. Flavor is sweet, banana/strawberry with some raisin. Mouth is fizzy at colder temperatures, but more creamy as it warms. Overall, not bad, but not my favoite Dubbel .

Dec 20, 2007 Dark chestnut color; big creamy head. Delicate aroma of caramel and roasted malt, perfumy, elegant. Medium body strength; the flavor is too much monodimensional for my liking: caramel only. Professionally brewed, with a good choice of yeast.

Dec 18, 2007 Sampled on draught at the Papago Brewing Company tavern in Phoenix, AZ. Pours a dark brown amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light wheat malt, banana esters, bubble gum, a touch of licorice, and some dried raisin. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with a flavors of multi-grain malt, some raisins, prunes, a touch of banana and some yeast. Finish is smooth, creamy with a slight bubble gum and banana aftertaste. Very interesting.

Dec 13, 2007 Updated: Feb 18, 2009On tap at the brewery. Poured a deep brown color with a light beige head. Aroma of some fruits, mostly banana, and bubble gum. Malty entry with some caramel leads into a yeasty middle with hints of fruity esters such as banana and a soft bubble gum finish. Unfortunately, this is a below-average beer now, but it used to be much better, and devoid of the over-whelming bubble gum notes.
