Immy (1477), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Oct 30, 2007 On tap at the Durham WBF. I had the pleasure of speaking to the brewer, Rick, for a few moments during the beer mosh pit that is the WBF. A well traveled guy, used to brew at one of my NJ faves, Flying Fish. A very pleasant guy! Anyway, lightly hazed dark copper with a pure white head. Textbook dubbel nose, dark fruits and a bit of yeastiness. Fruity flavors, prune, fig, raisin all coated with a sweet maltiness. A pleasant surprise finding this - I hope Triangle does well! 19641948 (476), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Oct 20, 2007 Pours a rustic auburn-brown with a scant head of beige. Aromas give some date, fig, and plum notes. Caramel maltiness with some wet dark dessert bread character. Subtle nut observation. Powdery dry in the aftertaste, with some dark fruit lingering.
