4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
This is the beer that started it all for me. I’d highly recomend enjoying it as it warms up to about 55-60. At 6.99 a bottle its the best value for my money and truly and outstanding experiance. A treat if you appreciate all the ever changing nuances of a finley crafted beverage.

Mörkt magohnyfärgad och stor skum som långsamt lägger sig lämnar rester på glaset. Fantastisk doft av marsipan, dumlekola och honung. Dessa återkommer i smaken som är lätt vinös, små lätta bubblor, komplex smakbild, väl dolda 8,5% och torr avslutning. Otroligt välbalanserad. Den ästa dubbeln jag någonsin druckit. Hittar ingen datummärkning på flaskan men jag gissar att den börjar närma sig utgångsdatum eftersom denna beställningsvara hade hamnat på Hansas systemhylla. Ser du den så köp.

The color is spot on for a Dubbel. Deep ruby with a fluffy off white head. The familiar sweet malt and sour fruits fill the nose. The flavor is quite close, too. Sweet malt, fruit, lots of spice and black pepper. Maybe some anise, too. Full and creamy in the mouth with a pleasant alcohol warmth on the way down.
If there is any drawback, I’m getting an overly salty soy sauce flavor.
Overall, it’s outstanding, but I would put it a notch below similar offerings from true Trappist breweries.

Bottle. Deep red, amber brown color. Thick head tat doesnt dissapear. Smells and tastes of toffee, carmel, chocolate and maple syrup. ABV not as present, but tastes great and easy to drink. Excellent beer.

Pours a cloudy amber with ample tan head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Taste is strong, malt and belgian sugars. Good kick, pronounced alcohol. Fairly smooth, this is a really nice Belgian. Thumbs up.

Sweet malty nose...toffee and honey. Reddish with a thick foamy tan head. Very sweet, no bitterness apparent. Honey taste throughout with moderate carbonation.

At Red Lion. Really this is quite good. Quite dark brown in color. Rich texture, not too syrupy but big in your mouth. Peppery maybe with bitter chocolate and malt. Serving: Bottle

12oz bottle poured a medium-dark cloudy brown with thick, frothy head that laces nicely. Smells malty and strong, though muted by it’s thick, persistent head. Sharp, thin-medium warming, body. Maybe some very subtle fruity hops, zero bitterness with tons of thick, chocolatey malts. Mild aftertaste with very light alcohol and very crisp finish. Goes down smooth. About halfway through the glass there’s a distinct caramel sweetness in the nose that begins to come out in the finish. Tough to taste the 8.5% ABV but certainly notice it in the head on an empty stomach, eat something first! Seems like it should be overpowering, but a great experience. Highly recommended!
