Sep 29, 2009 Dark hazy copper/brown with huge rocky head. Candy sweet aroma. Fluffy carbonation and full maouthfeel. Sweet on the tongue to start, light roast and caramel, develops into citrussy hop bite, surprisingly dry finish, even though some caramel lingers, along with prickly pepper on top of tongue. Interesting spice notes from yeast and alcohol. Good, but more simple than I expected.

Sep 28, 2009 11.2 ounce bottle from Total Wine in Tustin ($3.49). Pours a muddy brown with ruby tones and lots of floaties. The generous off-white head reduces to a steady layer composed of ultra-tiny bubbles. Nose is sweet bready malts, yeast, overripe plums and figs, and light spice. Much of the same in the semi-sweet flavor along with brown sugar and light alcohol. Nice carbonation but the finish is surprisingly not very sweet but dry with a light bitterness. A solid dubbel.

Sep 25, 2009 .750 Bottle. Pours a with a healthy head. Smells of dark fruit, candy, and caramel. Roasted malts and brown sugar flavors. Aftertaste is good, but faint, I wanted it to last longer. Creamy feel.

Sep 21, 2009 Brown murky pour with two finger beige head. Definite dark fruit and brown sugar aroma. Nice medium body with roast and hop. Wow good.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Orange to red pour with lots of sediment. Sweet belgian aroma. Dry sweet fruit that sits lightly. Taste is incredibly smooth. Hints of sweet grapes. Decent finish. Not bad.

Sep 17, 2009 Unfiltered dark brown. Nice head with some retention, homogenous small-medium bubbles. Nice.
Sweat aroma, complex.
Works well all over the tongue, alcohol there, but not prevalent. Aftertaste is a little too grainy, like leftover spices.
Thin, watery. Fizzy.
Very nice. After taste the only fault.
eManu (174), Brussels, Belgium
Sep 13, 2009 Pours a very dark reddish brown color with a nice thick cream color head. Aroma of many dry fruits like raisains and plums, cream and brown sugars with roasted malts. Flavors are very rich, creamy with roasted malts and brown sugars. Fruty and spicy, with good carbonations. Dry, sweet and bitter and a warm finish. Lots of great complex flavors, very enjoyable.
