clear dark red, thin beige head, a touch of lace, slightly sweet rich malt aroma and flavor, nice suggary fruity essence without being too sweet, some nice light spices show up once it warms, a bit of age would really help the fruit to ripen, brewed with Belgian date sugar<br />

beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Mar 21, 2006 Draft, Dec ’05. Dark brown pour. Sweet fruity aroma - smelled like dates by George. Medium bodied, and full of fruity and spiced flavors. Very nice - I thought the date touches worked very well with the dubbel style. Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Feb 25, 2006 Dark amber colour. Chewy malt aroma - a little special b maybe? Rich, deep dark fruitiness. Oily, phenolic kind of sahti-like overtones. A really odd dubbel but the sweetness and oiliness is just too much for me. omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 19, 2006 <i>Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. </i> Clear dark brown. Nutmeg aroma. Sweet and lightly raisiny. Full bodied with clean, thick mouthfeel, some almondy yeast character. Low bitterness. Dessertlike - similar to a cinnamon bun with raisins.
