Mar 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with a one finger light tan head that results in decent lacing. The nose is banana, caramel and spicy yeast. The taste is spice, cocoa, burnt caramel and banana. Medium bodied. Decent Belgian – better than anticipated.

Another great New Belgium offering that in my opinion tops the Trippel.
Pours dark brown with beige head.
Aroma is fruity with notes of dark sugar and possibly some light smoke.
Banana becomes more present with temperature.
Taste, roasted malts with nice addition of dark candi.
Some faint chocolate can be noted in the aftertaste with cooked apples sugar. Notes of sweet banana becomes more prominent as the beer came to room temperature.
That was one tasty beer.

Mar 22, 2009 From the bottle pours a translucent, reddish-amber shaded body with a small, foamy, beige colored head. A soapy wash slides down the glass after each sip, leaving minimal spotting behind. Aromas include dark candy sugar malt, candied orange peel, coriander, and light mulling spices. Notes of bubblegum and banana phenols are strong as well. Flavors show the same, with candy sugar and caramel malts being complimented nicely by the banana, orange peel, and spice. The body is a little light for the style, though the carbonation level is nice and creamy. A bit of cocoa roast comes through on the finish, which is nice.

Mar 17, 2009 Crushed with CaryTheDude and Jakebra at the brewery. Weird, raisiny smell. There’s some kind of roast in here and a lot of apples, pears, etc. Flavor is a bit off putting, with apples nuts and a weird off flavor. Drinkable, yet inspiring dubbel.
