Pours brown with an off white head. Smells of apples and grapes. Tastes of sugar cane and raisins with some figgy elements. Watery finish.

Beautyful dark brown colour, with a white cloudy foam. Nose of dried fruit, vanilla and smoothness. Taste wonderfull one of my farites taste. Absolute a good beer.

Strong alcohol flavor with notes of coffee and chocolate. Decent, middle of the road dubbel.

Bottled. Clear red brown coloured with a solid and lacing beige head. Sweet aroma of malts, spices and yeast with fruity notes. Nice sweet and malty flavour with notes of spices, yeast and alcohol. Dry finish with yeasty notes.

Amber body with a bunch of floaties...almost "chunks". There was a bit of a burnt chocolate coming through on this one. Slightly sweet aroma.

Medium amber body with a thick frothing white head and lots of large floaties. Slight malts and caramel in both aroma and flavor. Smooth body with a slight sweet finish. Pretty standard brown/dubbel. I like the tripel much better.

Mahogany appearance with a large, tan head and decent lacing. Initial aroma was musty, but caramel malts rode to the rescue. Sometimes, one of those weird descriptions gets stuck in your mind, in this case it’s a root beer float. Odd. Sweet from start to finish, with a slight metallic taste toward the end.

On tap at my local brewpub. Dark amber body. The aroma is light toasted bread with some some banana peels. The taste is cooked peaches with a hint of nutmeg. The thin mouthfeel slightly detracts from the overall experience.
