4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Large fizzy tan head that was mostly lasting, fine-small sized bubbles, lacing was sparse, cloudy, carbonation, and a brown hue. Nose was malty, caramel, sweet, and alcohol. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, vinuous, and somewhat dry. Mouthfeel was dry, tingly and vinuous. Medium-full body. An outstanding BSA, very enjoyable and quaffable and the alcohol was not overdone IMO. Scrumptious! If you like this beer style, find it, buy it and enjoy every taste of it!

I was honestly a little disappointed by this brew, to much weak dubbel and not enough belgian strong, if you will .. . a murky slow poke brown .. lacing was average .. . goes down easy but the flavours don’t quite meld together .. . I’ll try it on tap, but in the bottle i had, i didn’t like it too much ... I am speechless, i literally have nothing to say, i don’t know what you’re waiting for..

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2006 I am growing ever fonder of this brewer. Sampled on draft at the State College beer festival this beer poured a ruby chestnut color with a huge red-tan head. There is a strong sweet candy scent. The body is thick and syrupy. The flavor has noted elements of vanilla, molasses and ripe fruits. There is a mild alcohol burn and a sweet finish.

750 ml bottle from Trader Joe’s. 2010 vintage. Pours a clear, rich amber color that is more gold on the edges and brown in the middle with a massive, rocky off-white head. Aroma of mixed fruits (plums, apricots, raisins), caramel malts, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, and licorice. Flavor of caramel malts, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, more fruits, chocolate, and licorice. Medium-bodied, with abundant but soft carbonation and a fruity, malty mouthfeel. Really nice dubbel, and can’t believe I haven’t had this before.

Sampled from a bottle. Poured a hazy brown with an amber hue with a light brown head that lasted and laced nicely. Aroma had a bit of citrus and fruit with some sweet bread, coriander and a hint of caramel. Flavor was similar with a combination of light fruit, coriander, slight spice and a smooth caramel finish.

Brown sugar, malt and toffee are in the aroma. Hazy sunset red, pours a large toffee head with lot's of lace. Intriquing sweet malt, sponge toffee and almonds as well. Delightfully bitter, full bodied, creamy and well balanced. Fantastic!

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: NOV 23, 2003 Deep, murky and dark amber with a reddish hue. Yellowish-tan head. Coconut nose. Lively carbonation and medium-bodied, with an oily texture. A little spicy, hot and sharpish. Lingering bitterness on the tongue ... fades into a sweet and nutty maltiness.
