Draft @ the pub. Served in a 10oz. thistle glass. Alc. listed @ 8.5% , Limit 3 to a customer. Small tan head with fair retention and some thin strips of lace. Fairly clear, amber brown color. Nose was weak with some caramel and dark fruits, lightly dusty. Body was almost medium though somewhat watery. Flavor followed suit with the aroma though some breadyness evolved as did a little oxydation, not bad though. The fruity esthers were a bit more pronounced as were the caramel flavors. Light yeastiness shown as well. Lightly sweet finish. Meh.

Jun 5, 2008 On tap at Stewarts. Darkk brown in color, decent head. Aroma was sweet smell of raison and malt. Taste was pretty much the same, raison, sweet malt, but it did have a little bitterness in the after taste. Medium texture. Carbonation was a little high but over all pretty easy to drink. I would get another. Good brew.

Jun 4, 2008 Brownish color with a sweet aroma of raisin, spice, and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet with some candy, raisin, and sugar. Pretty tasty, though mediocre for the style.

Jan 1, 2008 Feb. 2006 - I think the previous Stumblin’ Monk killed eaglefan538’s tastebuds a little. This was a fine dubbel (two, two and a half...whatever it takes). Aroma was sweet candied sugar and dark fruits. As all the beers at Stewarts, served WAY too cold, but aroma and flavor both got richer and stronger as it warmed in my hands. Real nice balance of sugar, dark fruits and caramel to have a rich, complex taste without being too sweet. This is up there in the same league with the best dubbels I’ve had.
