dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 14, 2007 Pours a big head and beautiful red color. Fruity with some malt in the taste. Very nice dubbel, highly recommended. rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Apr 9, 2007 Updated: Apr 10, 2007Big sweet maltyness on the nose. Hazy dark amber color. Small head. Sweet, malty and bitter taste. Leathery finish. Alcohol in the late finish. maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Apr 5, 2007 Bottled. A dark brown coloured beer with a good off-white head. The aroma has plenty of candy sugar, raisins and brown bread together with some fizzy fruit. The taste is more of the same although the bready malts are more subdued than the smell would lead you to expect. Nevertheless a decent tasting beer. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Apr 5, 2007 Poured an amber with good head. Aroma was doughy and as butterscotch as eaglefan said. Flavor was doughy as well with the butterscotch and dark fruits. Not a favorite of mine eaglefan538 (2355), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Mar 31, 2007 Poured an amber color, nice generous head, ok lacing. The aroma was butterscotch, light vinegar, malty dough. The flavor was dark fruits, light chocolate, some grass, doughy notes, butterscotch, not as much vinegar as the aroma (almost a flemish twist to the flavor profile). The mouthfeel was a little acidic, highly carbonated. SilkTork (4155), Rochester, Kent, England Mar 29, 2007 330ml bottle from BeersOfEurope. A soft, creamy dark ale. Gentle and agreeable English hop bitterness growing into the finish. Carbonation quite tickly on the palate, leaving a lasting impression. Soft, not clearly defined bread and raisin flavoured malt. This doesn’t hold together well. Shame, as there are not enough female brewers these days, and I so want this to taste better than it does. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Feb 26, 2007 Deep ruby, large rocky head with excellent lacing and phenominal retention. Aroma is fruity with caramel and light spices. Flavor brings, this a smooth sweetness and a medium body. Not a huge blast of flavor, but what is here is kickass. I was expecting much worse. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Feb 12, 2007 Bottle. Rich dark caramel color with a nice tan head. Rich toffee/malt aroma with earthy spice. caramel/toffee flavor with earth and spice. Lingering caramel with earth and spice. Yes, it’s the same thing throughout, but it’s not bad.
