fireyforce (6) - - NOV 15, 2011 does not count
pours a dark brown caramel color with a creamy head. Has flavors of citrus, herbs, caramel malts and a toastyness. The spice lingers on the pallet. Overall one of my favorite beers.

trevor211 (922) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Pours a cloudy deep amber with a smooth head. Spicier than most dubbels - clove and allspice in with the usual sweet fruity malts. Brown sugar and caramel, with a great nuttiness. Spiciness lingers, and the flavor is a bit more dilute than I imagined it would be... very good, though.
