Mar 10, 2009 Location: Had this one out of a bottle at Bourbon in Adam’s Morgan, it wasn’t the absolute best place to judge a beer (loud, dark, no glass)
Overall Impression:
I remember enjoying this one, a nice complex dubbel with some interesting flavors. I will have to regrade next time I drink it if they conditions are more suitable to rating.

Mar 8, 2009 Comes out of the tap an opaque light chocolaty brown with a fairly thick, pale tan head. Rich, smoky, malty aroma has a yeasty undertone, and invites a taste. Flavor is malty with hints of cinnamon, cloves, yeast and caramel - very toothsome. Texture is very smooth and leaves behind a nice tingle.

Feb 27, 2009 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle (Batch #68) and served in a tulip. This dubbel poured a dirty, caramel/copper brown with a short-lived head of tan foam that settled into a lasting ring. Decent lacing. The aroma included dark candi sugar, raisins, caramel, along with a faint note of chocolate. The flavor contained dark fruit skins, candi sugar, light chocolate, and also a bit of alcohol in the finish. Everything about the flavor seems to be muted. Just not as vibrant as I was hoping for. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a moderate amount of crisp carbonation. Definately not a bad representation of the style, but not my favorite.

Feb 25, 2009 Enjoyed from a 750ml bottle. Initial appearance is characteristically dark, with an off-white head, nicely bolstered from a generous level of carbonation. The flavor is full on the palate; one of dark fruits, burnt raisons, and a slight note of alcohol on the back end. An extremely well-crafted and enjoyable example of a classic style.

Feb 19, 2009 Pours a deep brown color with a small tan head. Nice tan lacing lasts throughout. Heavily carbonated. Aroma is of malt, caramel, grass, sugar, and yeast. The beer is way too malty for a dubbel. Taste is of heavy malt, caramel, spice, yeast, grass, and raisins. Alcohol presence is very noticeable. Lingering grassy taste. Far too malty, and too much earthiness in the taste. Not very good in my opinion.
