3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, MA. Pours a dark orange-amber with a nice, fluffy off-white head. The aroma is largely figs, with a bit of a sour characteristic as well. Flavor is sweet, with plums, figs, and dates up front and a sugary, malty, fruity, licorice finish. The most unique dubbel I have ever tried and a total winner.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The aroma is fairly strong with mashed dark fruits, lightly tart fruit skins, yeast, mashed veggies (think Gerber) and brown sugar. The body is a muddy, ruddy brown and holds a creamy, but diminishing tan head. Cocoa, chocolate, burnt caramel in the fore. Has some burnt raisin and yeast notes too. Finishes mellow with a substantial chocolate flavor and mild black pepper notes.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pour is a hazy brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a very deep caramel with lots of sugar on top. Flavor is some dark fruit with some candi sugar and caramel malts. Overall this is just so-so for a Belgain. The flavor is a bit watery and the aroma relies to much on the sweetness. Not as eye opening as some Belgains.

Hazy, muddy brown color, big creamy brownish head, lace. Spicey and ashy aroma. Vegetables, spices, dry mouthfeel. Crisp carbonation. Flavors which were at first strange, opened when I read from the bottle that this contains dates - yes, there is some dried dates plus strange woody flavors.
