Sep 14, 2009 Updated: Sep 17, 2009One of my favorites. Roasted nuts, caramel, slight citrus and hops. Very nice. Two dollars from each bottle goes to the Thelonious Monk Jazz Institute.

Jun 20, 2009 When poured, is a rich dark brown with a almost yellowish head. Absolutely beautiful. The beginning aroma is one of apricots and alcohol, certainly a new one on me. The taste is strong, one of various dried fruits, raisins, apricots, Aftertaste is of brown sugar and alcohol (not surprising, considering the 9.4%). The beer retains great head, which is sticky and remains on the side of the glass. North Coast has done a great job basing a beer on my musical hero, my personal favorite, and also a portion of the proceeds go to a charity for children’s jazz programs. The world needs more jazz, just like it needs more great beer like this.

Sep 12, 2007 Damn near perfect beer! Very hoppy, floral, and STRONG. This deserves to be slowly sipped over an evening.

Oct 14, 2007 750 mil bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of roasted malt, hops, caramel, yeast and spices. Taste of malt, yeast and a nice light hop presence. Flavors are well balanced and compliment each other well. My favorite Belgian Ale to date.

does not count  Aug 30, 2006 One of the best belgina style abbeys I have had. Nice dark-burnt amber color, light tan head. Very slight yeast taste, also not overly sweet like some abbeys. Alcohol comes through about halfway through the bottle. Great beer from an already great brewery!!!!!

Oct 19, 2006 Bottle, Very nice beer, with just enough hops to keep the sweet maltiness "down". Beutiful brown-red color, nice head. A very good American Belgium. A nice warm finish and at 9%, no heavy alc. flavor.

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.
