| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 19, 2007 22 oz bottle. A nice take on this style. Poured a clear deep dark brown with an average head. Aroma was sweet with obvious yeast and hints of raisin and dark fruit. Flavor is spicy and yeasty with the alcohol well hidden. If I didn’t know better I would swear this came straight from Belgium. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2007 Clear dark brown with decent head. Nice sweet and yeasty aroma. Taste is spicier than expected, with decent sweetness. Alcohol is pretty pronounced. I get more tobacco/alcohol out of this than anything coming close to good sweet dark fruit.
Good stuff, but doesn’t compare to the top stuff. BDR (2161), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

Appearance is light brown with a little cloudiness. Mouthfeel is super smooth. Flavor is packed full of strong malts.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2007 Bottle at Falling Rock Tap House. Pours clear brown/tawny with a small fizzy light brown head, mostly diminishing, spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, chocolate), average hops (grass), average yeast (dough) with notes of banana and raisin. Medium bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness and bitterness, light acidity. JK (2955), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2007 Probably the best American dubbel I hve had. Lots of malt in the aroma and flavor. Light fruit. On the sweet side, very well balanced. Dark brown color. They didn’t hold back on quality ingredients and took the time to do this right. SoLan (1423), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2007 Dark multi brown with a large, frothy, tan head. Roasty dark malt, earth, brown sugar, dark fruits (dried and fresh), and a certain unidentifiable depth. Nice take on a dubbel. Full body, smoother than balanced. Very nice. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2007 Nice reddish amber color. Nice sweet nose with cinnamon apple like spicyness. Flavor lacks as opposed to the nose, but carries a nice spicy hoppines. Nice caramel, apple, flavor with a slight floral hoppiness. Very nice solid beer.
