jjpm74 (3160), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Sep 5, 2006 On tap at Three Needs. Pours reddiesh brown with a thin but persistent tan head. Smells fruitty with lots of spices. Tastes of coffee, fruits, spices and sugar. CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 16, 2004 Pours a dark and rich brown color with a thick, light tan and well-lacing head. Sweet caramely Belgian malt aroma. Body is thick, sweet, bready and complex, with a somewhat tart finish. A very nice dubbel, but could use a little more balance and yeastiness. muzzlehatch (4424), Burlington, Vermont, USA Feb 6, 2002 Updated: May 16, 2003Strong, strong flavor; alcohol, a nice yeastiness and vinous quality; but way too much carbonation. Beautiful light amber color, and typically complex Belgian nose; but guys, cut down on the fizz! 2/4 rerate. Liked this a bit more; seemed smoother, less fizzy, and thicker-bodied. If you hit this pub, definitely go with the Belgians and the Porter.
