| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 18, 2006 Pours rich clear amber with lots of carbonation and a nice sized tan head. The aroma has earthiness, bread, rich musty caramel and some dark fruits. Medium body, actually quite light for the style, with some soft carbonation. Starts with somewhat astringent dark fruits with some earthy traits. There is also some caramel adn moderate sweetness. The finish adds a little sharpness and breadiness. The beer gets creamier as it warms up. This is an okay beer, but not to be confused with a actually Belgium dubbel. Airlifter (116), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
