3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber brown with a thick creamy light beige head. Aroma is malty with a lot of dark fruits, prune, a light spiciness, toffee and caramel candy sweetness, a touch candied nuts. Flavor starts with a dark fruity character, slowly picking up some of the sweet candy character, toffee and a doughiness before a more grainy and a bit of a sharp fruity note. Medium body and a crisp carbonation. Decent dubbel

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a beautiful deep garnet with a huge semi-creamy head. Nose is chocolate and candied sugar-plums and acai with some nuttiness and dark dehydrated fruit. Flavor is rich sweet fruit cake with rum and cocoa. A medium to big bodied beer that borders on cloying without sucking. Absolutely grabs your attention, this is a big beer and I like it.

Pours wonderfully dark (particularly for a dubbel), with a thick, rich head. Plenty of Brussels lace runs up the sides. Nice caramel and liqorice aroma. Flavor is sweet, with a tad of bitterness on the finish. Overall, I really like it!
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours dark brown with reddish hue and foamy head (in the right glass). Smooth and crisp with a slight bitter finish. Fruity at first, pepper undertones, then finishes with a sour citrus aftertaste. Very complex and enjoyable beer.
