fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Aug 20, 2006 12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a really nice tan head. Lasted the whole glass. Aromas of raisin, fruit, molassas. Flavors were very malty and yeasty. Sweet and very good. snowden719 (130), USA Aug 18, 2006 Pours dark brown/reddish in the light with a medium slight off white head. Aroma is yeast, candy sugar, some dark fruits. Flavor is interesting, some apricots, lot so f yeast, bit of sugar. A bit too bitter. bager (2121), Copenhagen N, Denmark Aug 13, 2006 Bottle at Old Chicago. Also served way way too cold - I tried to warm this one up under my pits though - yeah what you will do for beer. Dark amber and brownish in colour with a huge but fast dissapearing head. Mild and "clean" in both aroma and flavour. Malty and sweet with a hint of caramel. A bit too thin and not full and round enough. pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 13, 2006 Bottle:Deep, clear amber color with an off-white quicly diminishing head and sticky lacing. Malt aromas marked by a strong yeast presence as well as sweet spices and alcohol. Yeast dominates the taste as well. You also notice a slight clove & banana flavor. The feel is smooth. Nice. gws57 (1131), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Aug 3, 2006 Bottled, thanks Slothgar! Transparent and slightly bubbly deep color pour with a light tan head, nose of malts and corn, a bit medicine-y, but the sweetness goes away in the body leaving a well balanaced maltiness, somewhat smokey. Good! Arnie (272), Chicagoland, IL, Illinois, USA Aug 2, 2006 Bottled (with thanks to Slothgar T!): Dark copper with a thick, fast bubbling beige head. Hights of hops on nose, heavy caramel and nutty malts on palate. Mild bitterness. Described by my wife as "Bourbon-y." Sweet, with a mild burn in the throat. Again, I say, why the $&@! are they shipping that Fat Tire crap when this could be hitting stores? DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 1, 2006 8/4//06 Bottle shared by Blake. Clear dark brown body under a an off-white scattering of bubbles. Raisin, phosphory rubber, and brown sugar in the nose. Not as much sweetness in the flavor - toasty caramel and raisin under nicely bitter lemon peel and grass. I like this Americanized (bitter) dubbel. 1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Aug 1, 2006 Thanks to tjthresh for this BB Aug. 04, 2006. The beer pours to a dark brown body with a thin beige head. The aroma is fruity and estery. The flavor is yeasty, toffee, walnuts and peanut skins, interesting sweetness. Tastes pretty good IMO. The palate is moderately bodied. Decent feel and carbonation.
