Aug 30, 2009 Dark brown and relatively clear. Impressive creamy, dense head. Caramel and molasses in the aroma, with some anonymous spices, perhaps cloves. Medium body, with a slight alcohol tingle in the mouth. I’m usually not much for typical Belgians, but this is lighter and more bright.

Aug 17, 2009 22 oz bomber. Cloudy brown pour with a fizzy tan head. Aroma of yeast and stale caramel. Taste of toffee, faded dark fruit and yeast. Surprising amount of malt in the finish. Think of this as a session abbey.

Aug 13, 2009 Dark amber pour with a light tan head. Aroma of candy sugar, sweetness, malt. Taste is semi-sweet, a little bit carbonated, malt, and a soft dark fruit flavor. Dry aftertaste. Flavor gets better as it warms. Started at 45F. Some lacing on the glass.

Aug 12, 2009 After eating some spinach, 24 hr. black coffee, and some kitty litter after that last one (La JOKE), time for some beer- 22 oz bottle served in trappist glass- poured a semi transparent dull brown with dark marroon tint in color, very low carbonation, a small amount of lacing from the off tan head with several packs of frog eyes upon the liquid surface. Aroma of light and sweet candi sugar, malt, yeast, and notes of caramel. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is there for sure, caramel was warm and highly inviting, middle cracks that door wide open for everyone that really enjoys a good brew, finish subsides like a wave of water receding away but still retains sensations of the malt along with notes of nuts (pecans and pistachios highly noticeable) and clove. Ever warming sensation that puts a smile upon your face not matter what the mood- and mine is pissed 24/7. Not your typical Dubbel, but one that is very enjoyable!!!

Aug 11, 2009 Aroma is of baked fruit and is it clove? The appearance is great with a nice rich amber body and a persistent off white head. The flavor is excessive. The fruity sweetness dominates to cloying and is replaced by a spicy clove or cinnamon flavor that does not balance well.

Aug 9, 2009 Pretty decent, not expecting much from this brewery. Cinnamon, cloves, and spicy flavor. Light sweetness but mostly well balanced with a few hops. Lots of caramel malts got a little boring. Moderate carbonation.

Aug 6, 2009 Updated: Nov 28, 2009Most have had a bad bottle the first time. A very malty aroma with a lot of malt and caramel. The flavor is dominated by the caramel but is pretty good.
Original score 7,1,2,1,4 for a 1.5 This score is only this high because of a fairly intriguing, malty water aroma. It’s sour with some fruit tones but not good. I pretty much couldn’t even stand my two ounce sample. Bad.
