Aug 10, 2008 750ml bottle: First off, I love the name. It is a great play on words. This one pours an opaque reddish-brown color. Mine had a large, fizzy tan head on it that went away almost immediately. It has a very nice aroma. Somewhat candy sweetness, along with cherries, plums and yeast. A touch of effervescence on the tongue. The taste is quite good also. The taste is good. Somewhat sweet, caramel, raisins and dark cherries to the taste. Finishes a bit lighter than expected. I would definitely buy another.

Aug 10, 2008 750 mL poured into trappist glass- poured transparent when held to a light source brown with a ruby tint, whisps of off tan on the liquid surface and ring around the glass for a head, aroma of cherries, yeast, and figs. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, various spices and fruit hit the tongue from the start and last to the finish. Finish has moderate alcohol feel after the body drops off quickly, not very sticky feel like others of it’s style. Good, but not something to rob a train for.

Aug 8, 2008 bottle. Pours a deep, dark amber, with a small-ish off white head. Head clears pretty quick, leaves a nice layer and decent lacing. Aromas dominated by sweet dark raisins and figs, with some hints of yeasty tartness. Flavors follow the nose... smooth, dark fruity sweetness, plenty of sharp yeast notes, and a fair amount of booze. Palate is heavy, but clean, with very little lingering finish. Overall, a decent brew, though lacking in some of the depth often found in belgian dark ales.

Aug 3, 2008 Taste 8/8 Bottle. Looks: Deep brown with a nice lacing tan head. Aroma: Dark fruit and grain, not very aromatic for the style. Taste: Mellow, creamy. Descent must from the yeast. One dimensional.

Aug 1, 2008 Aroma is very enticing, more fruity than malty; I get hints of both apple and banana, as well as a touch of yeast. It pours a rich, clear, dark chocolaty brown with a thick beige head that persists. Flavor is fruity with some malt and a fair amount of hop bitterness, as well as a hint of burnt caramel. Texture is smooth and lively, and this dubbel goes down very pleasantly. This is a brew for sipping slowly and appreciating.

Aug 1, 2008 Deep brown and ruby poured with a nice fluffy head. Sweet aroma. No discernible aromas. Raisins, caramel, and other dark fruits in the taste. Some sweetness remains. A bit thick for my liking, but fits the style.

Aug 1, 2008 Poured into a goblet. Nice hazy amber color with a pretty good off-white head that stayed for a while and left a bit of lacing.
Flavor of dark malt, cola and fruit. Alcohol is present in the taste but, isn’t hot or solventy.
Sweet malty aroma and good mouthfeel. I thought this was a pretty good attempt at a Belgian strong ale.
