Boozy fruit, yeast, raisin, mineral notes, and a little vegtativeness on the nose. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. The alcohol is pretty prominent in this one.

Pours a brownish amber with a decent off-white head providing okay lacing. Aromas of dark fruity esters, some spice and candy/bubblegum typical for the style. Flavor follows suit, dark fruit (raisin), slight clovey spice with the brown sugar finish. Mouthfeel was fairly heavy, but seemed a bit lighter for the style. Overall this is a pretty good dubbel, and for the price, is worth picking up. Barrios (860), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
