Mar 13, 2005 Huge, thick, lasting head, gives you a moustache! Aroma is very weak, somewhat fruity. Color is nice reddish brown, slightly murky. Taste is dry with nice aftertaste. Nothing special, but I would drink again.

Mar 2, 2005 Orangey brown ale with a thick bubbly caramel white head. Malty and fruity aroma with some yeast. Sweet rich malt with notes of coriander and licorice, dryish finish, but overall very pleasant dubbel with a medium body. Metallic hops drop quickly but is retained for some time in finish.

Feb 28, 2005 Smells like prunes & I hate prunes. I won’t hold that against the beer though. Tastes sour& dry to me. Not as dark as I expected from a Belgian Dubbel but has plenty of malt, that’s for sure. Not real crazy about the flavor in this one. Glad it only cost $3.99 for a 750ml b/c I poured it out.

Feb 22, 2005 This poured an eartyhy brown color with an instantaneously collapsing, unimpressive white head. The aroma is malty sweet with scents of dried, dark fruits and hints of chocolate. Light bodied, the taste is of sweet malts, sweet-sour fruit, and alcohol. This is a nice seasonal warmer, but nothing special.

Feb 16, 2005 Dark brown beer, amber shine; thick & creamy yellow head. Roasted malts, Zachertorte, faint fruity nose (red grapes, plums) , chocolate. Sweet and roasted taste, again something fruity & sweet - Traubenzucker . Sweet, but balanced with both something fruity-sourish and roasted-bitter, which doesn’t spoil anything. Warming up, however does it a disservice - beer becomes more crude. Medium bodied, fruity acidity alleviates it, ends chewy all the same. Good Dubbel. Not at all BDS’ worst effort.

Feb 5, 2005 Bottle, Christmas 2004 LCBO gift pack. Amber-brown pour, big white head. Lots of yummy malt and yeast in aroma. Mouthfeel is medium yet quite active. Taste is spicy malt, with a long yeast finish (that can become slightly unpleasant after a while towards the end of the glass). The 6.8% is there, but not too strong or weak (I sound like the 3 bears). A very nice beer.
