May 10, 2008 Pours transparent brown with long-lasting tan/white head, lots of lacing. Nose is caramel and nuts with some roasts, Flavor has a lot of roast and bready yeast, a little sour in the swallow, with smooth but noticeable palate. Straightforward dubbel, but enjoyable nonetheless.

May 7, 2008 Pours a dark rich mahogany with a slim and now almost gone except around the edges of the tulip glass white large bubbled head. Smells of dark nuts and apple or pear skins. Maybe some dark fruits as well. Very nice body in the mouth with well lively carbonation. NIce and chewy. Little milk chocolate hinting on the palate with some nice and dry dark malt flavor. Not too impressed, but a nice beer all the same

Apr 20, 2008 poured chestnust brown with a head of small white bubbles, which laced nicely on the glass. Aroma was delicate, but featured notes of cocoa, and an earthiness that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Flavor was alright, very dry, and earthy with some cocoa. Alsp had a weird hop note that was pretty citrussy. mouthfeel of fine bubbles and excellent digestibility. I was kind of diappointed overall because they flavor just wasn’t there, but not bad.
