Jul 15, 2006 On tap @ Mr.Goodbar.
Sweet malt, brown sugar aroma, opaque brown, tiny tan head. Taste is big, rich candied malt, with brown sugar and a hint of treacle. Medium-full bodied, really well balanced, pleasant mouthfeel. Terrific!

Jul 1, 2006 Poured from big bottle. Aroma of slightly burnt bagel. Very nutty, woody flavor, which gives way to the bready, spicy, malty belgian character. Notes of dark, unsweetened chocolate. Entirely too drinkable. Finished just as nicely as the start, even warm.

Jun 21, 2006 The aroma has malt, spice, and leather. The appearance is reddish brown with a slight hazing. The flavor is nice. It has the same elements as the aroma. The palate is thinner than expected but not bad. This is a quality beer.

Jun 9, 2006 750ml bottle, batch #56. Off white, quickly dissipating head. Fine, lingering lacing atop a deep brown liquid, slightly cloudy. Nose on the faint-side, suggestions of sweet malt and caramel, and an odd, musty note. Slightly watery downtake. Slightly bitter finish with an sftertaste that is mostly molasses-sweet, but again, slight. That is the overall lasting impression: toned down, or slight in stature. Not unenjoyable, and certainly drinkable, but not as much wallop and complexity as I usually expect from a Dubbel. I recently reviewed a new Dubbel and thought it was a bit weak, but it outshines this one in every category. It is time to revisit that review and rethink my opinion as a result.
