Feb 11, 2009 Updated: Feb 12, 2009wonderful stronger interpretation of the classic dubbel. aroma is of wonderful yeast mingled with prunes and pit fruits. appearance is very dark and barely pitched red when light is applied. flavor is nutty, with sizzling hops and some yeast, though not as much as is found in the nose. palate lingers just enough to be pleasant. overall this is a great belgian ale, the wonderful dubbel has been amped up and all for the better!

Feb 8, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours reddish-brown with a large, foamy beige head. Aroma is sweet, spicy malt, with some yeast and alcohol and bit of wood. Flavor is peppery caramel malt with miscellaneous fruits, a bit of woody bitterness, background hops, and lingering malt. Kind of an odd Belgian-style beer, with a bit of doppelbock character and not much yeast character. If you’re not rating to style, though, I happen to rather like it--- I think the spiciness and doppelbock-like dark/sweet maltiness complement each other nicely.

Feb 7, 2009 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. Pours a clear deep reddish amber color with a beige head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is peppery alcohol, red and dark fruits, and a hint of mesquite. Light and fruity with not enough body or depth for the style. Astringent and thinnish. A textbook example of a poor American imitation of a Belgian beer.

Feb 5, 2009 Pours a dark reddish color with a frothy brown, long lasting and nicely lacing head. Aroma of cookies and bread. Flavor of caramell and raisins with a well balanced bitterness with a faint hoppiness. Body is full and texture is smooth, almost creamy. A new favourite.

Feb 1, 2009 Great copper head, closely resembles a Belgian quad, dark and nutty, alcohol has a bit stronger presence than it’s counterparts, verysweet but not too sweet.

Jan 31, 2009 En avgjort egensinnig öl med en närmast artsfrämmande karaktär. Vinner på sin originella smak, men är stundvis för mycket - och inte minst: för söt - för att vara en favorit.
