Deep Brown Coloring. With Good Head. Streak of Dark Brown on The Head Like You Sprinkled Cinnamon on Your Beer. Sweet, Almost Soapy at First..a Bit Watery..Raisins..and Some Alcohol... Not Great.

Bottle 0,33l. Deep brown. A tanned lasting head. Fruity smell and aroma. Complex flavour with some sweetness. You notice it’s strength in the aftertaste. Very good. A lot of sediments in the bottle.

33cl Bottle from stystembolaget. Dark, murky brown with slight rosey tint. Big tan head that lasts til the end and laces the glass. Aroma is amazing - belgian yeast and tart fruit come rushing at you, followed by caramel and slight alcohol hanging back. Thick, full mouthfeel and medium carbonation coat your tongue. Flavor is sweet and malty, but bitterness perfectly controls things. more bitter in finish, but not out front. Hops become more pronounced as beer warms. One of my new favorite beers.

Poured ruby brown with thin but residual tan head...smells very bready and chewy with raisins and nutmeg and pepper...tastes quite sweet with alcohol being ever so subtle and complimenting the malty earth fruits beautifully...fantastic mouthfeel...felt like it stiffened in my mouth somehow...finish was dry and a little cocoa aftertaste...

Poured a cloudy golden brown with a very fat long-lasting off-white head and good lacing rings. Nose of malts, flowers, citrus, and fruits. Very smooth and rich mouthteel. Flavora are complex with ripe fruit dominating.. Good dry finiish, Nice lookng, nice smell, nice palate, nice flavors, and a nice finish. A really good beer.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2007 One of the best, if not the best, dubbels out there. Creamy and smooth, yet fully robust and hearty at the same time. Moderate alcohol level works quite well with the dark malty tastes and aromas. Nutty, with a fruity raisin-like aftertaste. Minimal hops. A delicious Belgian ale.

Pours a very deep red. Aroma is of alcohol. Flavor is fruity, mostly cherries. Nothing really stands out though. I thought this would be more flavorful. Oh well it’s good for a try and better than most.

Malty with raisin, honey, molasses and vanilla aroma. Nice amber with a light brown head. You taste alcohol and spicy peppery malt. Kicks on the tongue and has a long lasting finish. Nice...!
