We carry this at our bar and it is truly an awesome beer. It has a great caramel undertone that is smooth on the palate. Great to drink a couple of these in the afternoon.

Bottle. Murky brown color, medium tan head, great lacing. Aroma of smooth rich milk chocolate, toffee, coffee grounds, and of course vanilla. Taste is light spiced cocoa and vanilla. Nice mouthfeel. Delicious.

on tap at brewery, the vanilla is very light on this one and adds as an excellent complement to the dubbel style.

27-AUG-2012, bottle @Papsø. Dark amber with tan head. Hoppy and malty. Vannilla and wood. High carbonation, a little sweet. Almost an American Strong Ale. The dubbel is well hidden under the wood and hops. Really nice.

Pours a deep dark red with a nice off white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast, some candied sugars and caramel malts. Taste is a good bit of caramel maltiness with some plums and raisins popping through with a bit of the vanilla showing up every so often. Very mild bitterness, which takes a back seat to the sweetness in this one, and the carbonation runs rather soft. Has a nice oak character and is very well balanced. Pretty impressive offering from a brewery in my home state, that’s just getting its legs under them.

Bottle at Papsø. Hazy red-brown coloured with a small beige head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel, spices and dark chocolate. Sweet and fruity flavour of caramel, dark chocolate and spices with notes of vanilla and oak. Spicy finish.

Bottled@vPBF2012. Rubyish, close to black, colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is wood, sweet malts and mild alcohol. Flavour is alcohol, vanilla, some roasted notes and quite sweet ripe dark fruity notes.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a dark hazy brown color with a medium creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of tart fruits, herbal hop finish. The taste is toffee malts, toastiness, plums, stone fruits, vanilla and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Nice.

bottle. Poured dark ruby with a creamy tan head. Sweet molasses aroma. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Full toasty flavour with vanilla notes. Really nice.

Aromas of marble pound cake, peanut butter cookies, golden raisins, and floral hops. Brown with mostly lasting, khaki head. Off-dry, rummy, with coconut tones, and some cola. Medium body, average carbonation, and a sweet, nutty finish.
