I guess I don't usually award 4/5 for appearance with such a small head, but the dark purple/brown color merits it. Started with a medium white head that dissipated to almost nothing; minimal lacing. Aroma of raisins and malt and a light alcohol touch. Flavor is sweet and malty up front with some dark fruitiness; slightly sour; lightly hoppy in the finish. Feels clean and not very rich. Overall, not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours slightly red brown with a small white head. Light aromas of dark fruits, green apples, toasted malts. Flavor is slightly tart green apples, biscuity malts, a touch of honey and a little dark fruit. Pleasant but also somewhat weak flavor.

Dark iced tea colored pour with a ruby highlight and a large 3 finger off-white head. Subtly toasty caramel nose with some faint grass, dark fruit and cedar. Flavor is as equally subtle as the aroma with hints of caramel, almond, vanilla, dates, and cocoa. Medium body with a soft carbonation and a tad watery finish. Definitely a tasty and drinkable beer for being a high-po Belgian but it just seems to be lacking in body and flavor.

This dark amber, near brown, dubbel wears a thin tan head, and carries notes of caramel amid a woodsy earthy background. Plenty of balanced malt, not too sweet, real smooth. A fine dubbel.

I’m getting lots of malt. Some cherry. Sweetness. Even a bit of chocolate. "Should I open another?" I asked the wife. "Is it a bomber?" she asked. "Yes." "Then do it." And so this was opened.
