| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2007 Color is somewhere between amber and brown. The nose.....is there a banana in my glass or am I just happy to see.....nevermind. Smells like a big banana dipped in coriander. The flavor is sweet and malty and I can just get a sense of alcohol as it warms. Love this one. Cornfield (4924), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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. Burrobuns (81), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | 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. Rotorhead87 (117), Temple, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | 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. Soonah (915), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.
