Jun 8, 2008 75cl bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa). Pours a dark brown with one finger white-tan head. Good head retention. Smells of flowers, a little citrus, hint of molasses, and sweet aromas. Tastes of rich deep barley, slight chocolate, finishes slightly bitter.

May 20, 2008 Pours dark, translucent brown/red. Stays on the glass well. I’m having trouble smelling much. Reminds me of a pilsner if anything, but I can’t really catch a scent. The taste is confusing. Some yeast, distasteful bitterness, sweaty malt flavour and something else. I didn’t like this. Perhaps my bottle or tastebuds are faulty.

Apr 8, 2008 Appearance: A cloudy bronze-brown with a thin lacy antique-white head.
Nose: Not as overwhelming as it could be. Fruity esters, white pepper, brown sugar, raisins.
Taste: Raisins, caramel, cooked apples, pear.
Palate: Very spritzy, nice and dry.
Overall: I love this style of beer -- this is not my favorite exemplar of the style, but at $5/bottle it’s hard to argue! As a beer, it’s wonderful. As a dubbel, it’s average.
I’d be tempted to try cellaring this one.
My favorite part, actually, is the bottom-of-the-bottle yeasty "dregs" -- brings out a nice nutty quality, and more pronounced cooked apples. Very good with sweet seafood-in-cream-sauce pasta.
