May 17, 2007 Good looking ale, a clear golden amber with a frothy head. The aroma has sweet malts, soft fruits, yeast, and a touch of nutmeg and clove. All are blended neatly into the flavor. Nice carbonation. The finish is sticky sweet and spicy. Not too shabby. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=837> Liquid Solutions, Portland, OR<font size=-1>

May 14, 2007 I just put this one on tap in my kegerator, and I could not be more thrilled! I think this beer is an excellent example of the craftsmenship NBB puts into its beer. It has a great nose of clove and banana with spice. Taste was wounderful, and only got better as the beer warmed up. This is a great beer to unwind with or to pair with a dessert, or a strong cigar.

May 12, 2007 Most impressive aspect of the beer was the head which was both gorgeous and felt great against the lips. Other than that, a solid dubbel that I found somewhat unremarkable.

May 11, 2007 Very good beer, my favorite from New Belgium. Too bad its not as readily available in my area as some of the others.
Anyway, a good classic dubble. Not the best of the type but definitely the best of the reasonably priced ones. Has a nice yeast and malt flavor with the yeast coming through the strongest.

May 3, 2007 WBF-Raleigh. Hazy dark amber body with a small tan head. Sweet caramel and spice aroma. Sweet caramel and fruity flavor with some light spice.

Apr 20, 2007 A clear pouring dark brown with light copper highlights. The head was off-white and an inch and a half high. Hung around a while before rertreating into the glass leaving a galaxy swirl atop the brew. The aroma was a pleasant combination of malt, bread with a bit of spice (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg). The flavor was a bit too acidic. Not enough malt to balance out the yeast and citrus flavors that came through. Relatively thin body with a faint metallic aftertaste. Nothing to write home about.

Apr 19, 2007 Poured dark brown with a reddish hue to it. This was actually a pretty good belgian dubbel. Aroma was yeast, dark fruits, and malty with some yeast coming through. Flavor was pretty rich and malty. A little alcohol came through and maybe the slightest metallic taste. Very solid beer though.

Apr 17, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a reddish dark brown color with an impressive tan head. Aroma of sugar and nutmeg. The taste brings out a more fruity side of the beer. Well balanced flavor, but the aroma was pretty one dimensional. A good beer, and something I will try again when I get the chance.
