Jan 19, 2003 This is one heavenly drink. Head is light tan and thick,lasting throughout. Color is dark reddish brown. Lace all the way. Taste heavy on the banana,also clove, brown sugar, nutmeg,slightly bitter hop and very sweet flavors combined. Medium to heavy body. Great aftertaste. Very filling.

Jul 8, 2005 The head is great. Tastes like Belgian ales, but not overly strong. The flavor starts well but disappears too quickly, leaving a little something to be desired. Compared to the average Belgian price, however, this is excellent.

May 26, 2003 Wonderful looking beer when poured into the Chimay "chalice" fantastic aroma and a great taste sensation.
Very palatable and a great American rendition of the classic Belgian Dubbel.

Jul 1, 2003 Color is a gorgeous dark brownish red of deep, dark varnished mahogany, solid in the middle with glowing edges. Head is nice and compact of cream colored creamyness, about a finger high, with some bigger bubbles, faded within a minute or so, leaving drippy lace strings.
Smell is all malt and dark fruits of banana, starfruit, citrusy a bit, with toffee notes and a note of spicy cloves, one nice nose on this.
Taste is very smooth and subtle layers of complexity hindering mostly in malty sweetness and light dark fruits, banana, caramel, toffee notes and a bit of the cloves comes through in there as well. Flavors meld together quite excellent with a super nice little grab of dulled bitterly hops and yeast towards the end, giving it a little firm boldness thats very nice.Feel is pretty full medium embodyment with nice creamyness and a rich thickness, luscious and smooth, yet a tad thinning into the start. Extremely yummy dubbel made with care and respect to the orgin from which it came.

Feb 25, 2004 This is a wonderful Belgium ale. It reminds me of an ever-so-slightly diluted Chimay Red. AND when you consider the price (which nearly all human beer drinkers do) is about 25% of the Chimay, it seems to be the overall winner when choosing a beer to have on stock. I especially liked the awareness of hops while not being blown away by them. Nice discovery for me.

Sep 11, 2006 Bottle poured a full, hazed, rich burgundy, with capuccino-tan head. Aromas of chocolate, cherry, yeast. I taste all of those, as well as the roast and hint smoke. Perhaps banana, fig, clove. I would love a bit thicker body, like the grand cru (which they should bottle), but the slight syrupyness satifies. Can you tell I like it yet?

Aug 10, 2001 This stands among the best Dubbels on from this contenent. Complex with abalanced fruity plum flavor, ’head for the mountains ...and turn right for this beer.
