7050. Pours an amber brune body with a tan head. Dark fruit, plum and raisins, malty tawny caramel and a light woodiness. Dried fruit and a lush malty warming body. Nice brew.

750 ml bottle that I have had for several years - I’m not sure of the age of the bottle. Pours a crystal clear deep red with a moderate, sudsy off-white head that is initially more reminiscent of the head on a glass of Coca Cola than anything else. The head quickly settles into an incomplete film and leaves a partial coating on the glass. Pleasant aroma of malt and brown sugar. The flavor is malty and a bit richer than the aroma suggests, but with none of the brown sugar sweetness. Fairly smooth with just a hint of alcohol at the very end. One of the better offerings I have had from this brewer.

An ’01 vintage bottle. Vinous. Possibly from its superannuation? Rather sour. But the other flavors poked through.

Very nice authentic Dubbel. Primarily a malty flavor but dubbel fruit tones come make their presence known in the aroma. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008

It has a medium/amber color to it with an ok head and ok lacing. It is a very sweet malty smell. Very inviting. It has a very sour/lemony taste to it. Like biting into a lemon.

Pours dark cola with a fine head. Nice dried-fruity aroma, cloves, toffee. Spicy, clove-driven flavor, not at all too sweet (though not exactly dry either, just balanced). Easy drinking, and a pleasure to go through 750 mls. This is probably the best American-brewed dubbel that I’ve had to date.
