bottle:
Pours a reddish brown ale in the goblet - tight, sticky 1 finger tan cap.
Toffee-spice-earthy aroma, bready notes, some roastiness.
A tad thin for the style but with a decent complexity of dark ripe fruits, caramel-rasty malts, some sugar sweetness and a dry finish with licorice aftertastes,
A boiler plate commercial dubbel, far better than Leffe but still lacking in the defined character and body expected of the style.

Nov 26, 2009 Bottle. Rather light brown pour with thick frothy head. The color is a little too light for dubbel but the classical aromas are present, ripe fruit good dark malts and caramel and a hint of licorice. Taste is very much the same only a little watery. Overall welldone.

I tried this beer on October 30, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a deep reddish-brown with a 1/2" tan head. The aroma was roasted malt, caramel, and plums. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, slightly sweet, some fruit, and licorice in the finish.
