Really good. The aromas are carmel, a little burnt, some dark fruit in the raisin and cherry range, and a touch of spice maybe licorice. The beer is a cloudy deep ruby brown with a long, long lasting tan froth. The head leaves lace rings all the way to an empty glass. The beer tastes of caramel with a little nuttiness with notes of dark fruit and yeast spice. The bitterness comes at the end to provide just enough snap to prepare you for another sip. Full bodied, rich, and velvety smooth with a nice warming alcohol presence makes the beer a delight. Great with spice, cream, and caramel based desserts or withbarbeque with a sweet and maybe smoky sauce.

Bottle - Spicey, burnt caramel and a yeast alcholhol finish in the aroma. Cloudy rich burgandy with a brown light head. Exeptionally smooth taste with a rich mouthfeel. Caramel notes with a ever so slight bite of biterness. I am not normally a fan of this yeast profile, but it is so well balanced I can only say wow. A fantastic after dinner beer.

This is a dubbel. Well done and tasty. Rich dark fruits and nuts dominate and a nice spicy yeast finish. Medium sweet and rich. Well done.

Bottle is a year and a half old. Tons of cherries, tastes like a cherry chocolate pie. Rich and malty, much better than an average dubbel.

12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour with rich head. Wonderfully rich and delicious. The best heavy beer out there

Rich dark brown colour with tan head. Fruity complex hard to pick specifics. Tasty dubbel

Moderately complex Belgian. Not overly sweet, maybe lacking in the more deeply complex flavors, but still a good Belgian ale.

It poured a golden brown color with a tan head. The aroma was of dark fruits, caramel, a little yeast, with some apple and a hint of licorice. The taste was sweet & sour, caramel, sour apple and a touch of oak.

750ml brown bottle, corked. Pours out dark brown and fairly clear even after pouring 3/4 of the bottle into the glass. Thick and very creamy beige foam on top. Decent spotty lace. Nose is fruity, raisins, brown sugar, chocolate, trace of banana and alcohol deep in back. Malty taste, chocolate, sponge toffee, boozy raisins, mild red wine, black cherries and other dark red fruits. Great yeast profile in the finish, very drying with a trace spice, a bit of dark grains and a bit of warming alcohol also show. Medium body, good carbonation, soft mouthfeel. Ease of drinking is high, I’ve consumed two thirds of the bottle while composing this rate. Good complexity, loving the richness mid-palate and then the dryness in the finish. This beer is now on my radar officially.

Bottle at Ale Yeah! in Decatur, GA. Creamy, tan head, wine colored. Fairly thick. Malty, complex sweetness. Definite alcohol at the end.
