Bottle. Dark brown pour with a huge brownish white head. Malty aroma with some hops in the back ground. Malty flavor which covered the alcohol well. Pretty good.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours dark reddish brown with big beige head. Aromas are powerful- lots of raisin and prune, with molasses and honey. Tons of fruity esters- banana, raspberry, and apricot. Some clove, ginger, and nuttiness in there as well. Flavor is very sweet at first, with lots of dark fruit and brown sugar. Then turns slightly acidic with a sharp sense to it. Palate isn’t completely full- some smooth texture subsiding into some prickly and almost sharp acidity. Finish is quite dry. A decent offering, but nothing fantastic.

Jul 15, 2008 330 ml. Hazy copper-chestnut with a large, creamy and lasting head. Aroma is sweet corn, slight dark fruit, wood. Flavor is wooden apple, dark fruit, slight cinnamon, bubblegum, and molasses. Near-medium body is dry, tingly and warm with alcohol, and at times a bit too fizzy.

Jun 26, 2008 11.2 OZ Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX.
Pours a cloudy brown/orange with beige head that appears to be lacing the glass....Aroma has a nice yeasty character, kinda a mix between orange and caramel malt with slight roastiness..Flavor has fruit notes along with a sweet malt taste. Med. Carbonation with full body....I like this stuff!!!!!!!

Jun 25, 2008 Bomber. Poured a dark mahogany with a large coffee/cream head. Some wine characteristics in the nose, but mostly sweet malt. Flavor is surprisingly light for a dubbel, leaning on towards the fruity and sweet side. Really pleasing and easy to drink.

Jun 11, 2008 pours a hazy reddish orange brown color with a small light brown head that shrinks quickly. Nose is booze, red wine, a bit of soy sauce that is somewhat salty. Taste is cherries, booze, and is pretty acidic. Not bad but misses on quite a few levels.
