Commercial Description:
This is our Christmas and Holiday beer! A deep red/brown Abbey Ale often called the Burgundy of Belgium. Its a rich but crisp Trappist style dark ale with a flavor like no other beer. It is brewed with a special Belgian yeast that imparts fruity and almost wine-like flavors and aromas due to aromatic esters and complex alcohols that are the byproducts of fermentation. Very aromatic and slightly malty with some residual sweetness and tartness and a low hop bitterness/aroma. This is a warming high gravity beer made to be sipped and enjoyed in the colder months.

A beautiful, cloudy, reddish-brown with a nice thick tan head. Aroma is strong, malty and hoppy, with a good alcohol edge and fruit hints. Flavor is exceptionally smooth, more like a fine bourbon than a beer, with hints of fruit and butterscotch. It has a nice alcohol edge to it so you know that it is a high-gravity beer. This is one to be sipped and savored.

This is absolutely one of the finest domestic dubbels I have ever tried. The spices are just right and balanced with the rest of the niceties this beers is offering. Delectable brown sugar and candi flavors, dark fruits and a finish reminiscent of bubblegum. A perfect winter warmer.

Wow! This quickly changed my impression of 5 Seasons! Hazy brown color with a thick head. Flavor was rich and malty with some Christmas spice, plums, raisins, and cherries. This was prefectly balanced. I'm glad I had the opportunity to sample this beer.

Pours a reddish-brown color with good head. Malty aroma with fruity/bready tones from the Belgian yeast. Very well balanced in malt, hops, and carbonation. Not as much alcohol / warmth as other Dubbels. Nice, smooth drinkable Belgian.

Dark, cloudy, wood brown with ruby and gold highlights with a large cream-colored head that slowly faded to a ring and weather pattern. Brown sugar, spice cake and dried fruit aroma. The flavor is more brown sugar and spice with a dried fruit somewhere between prunes and apricots and a bit of cherry. The taste is full, soft and rounded. Very well brewed.

Nice amber/brown color with decent sized head that didn’t stay for long when poured from the tap at the brewpub into a Delirium glass. Sweet, malty taste that tastes like it’s namesake, with a slight twist. The twish being just a bit hoppier. Tastes of dates, raisens and swet candy. A world class beer.

Spot-on dubbel aroma that's sweet and spicey. Delicious dark fruits and bubblegum flavors. I think this is the only beer I've ever had to include a bubblegum tone without being cloying. Warm and a little spicey also. Mouthfeel is moderately full and very smooth, creamy, and soft.
