Draft @ AVBC, Boonville, CA. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a malty yeasty spicy aroma with hints of ripe fruit. Malty spicy yeasty flavor with hints of dark fruit and chocolate. Has a sweetish spicy yeasty dark fruit finish.

Pours brown with ruby edges. Aromas of sweet belgian malts, yeast, and ripe fruit. Flavor is sweet caramel, sugary with spicy notes and a little bit of ripe fruit.

Pour is a brown with an almost flat tan head. Aroma is super sweet with some dark fruit and alcohol. Flavor is some dark fruit with brown sugar and a warming alcohol. A good beer but just ok for the style as there is nothing jumping out at me that would put this over in the excellent category.

Clear dark amber with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and yeasty notes. Sweet flavour with overripe fruits, roasted malt, caramel and yeasty notes. Sweet finish with warming alcohol.

A pretty classic dubble with all the usual suspects, lots of yeast flavor with dark fruits, raisin, plum, etc. It’s a tad overly sweet for my tastes, but good.

22oz bottle served in a chalice. Poured a dark copper with a thin tan head. Plenty of carbonation. Fruity spicy aroma. Medium bodied with a rich mouthfeel. Dark sugar and fruit flavors with a little bit of spice. I found this to be lacking when compared with a Belgian rendition as well as many American versions.

Pours dark mohogany, fruity, spicey, caramel, malty, little dark fruits, little nutty.

Pours deep reddish brown with a halo of a tan head. Nose is rich with fruit and caramel, also present is toffee and almost a cotton candy influence. Flavor has some spice notes along with fruit and caramel. Not as enjoyable as the nose, but decent.
