Tmoney99 (4656), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 29, 2006 Draft sampler at Barley Island. Poured a reddish brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted with fair lacing. Moderate sweet yeasty dark fruit aroma. Medium body. Solid same sweet dark fruit flavor with an alcohol tone at the finish. Good drinkable brew. MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Apr 26, 2006 cask at brewery - Aroma of Belgian yeast, candi sugar, cherry, and bubblegum. Pours hazy red with a small off white head and decent lacing. Flavor matches aroma with the cherry turning sour. The aftertaste is a little funky, but it works well and actually gives it character. Palate is smooth and tart, but a little thin. Not a bad dubbel, especially when you consider it was brewed in Noblesville, Indiana.
