<b>In short: </b>a well-rounded “session” doublebock. <br /> <b>How: </b>Bottle 12oz, age unknown, from HogtownHarry, thanks a lot Harry<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy orangey brown body topped by a very small beige head<br /> <b>In long: </b>Nose of dates, toffee and some fresh cigars. Interesting blend of fruity flavours (mainly figs, dark grapes and red berries), earthy tree roots, pecans and thick caramel. Overall feeling of a big fruity brown cake. Leafy hops with a tobacco leaves character are perfectly fitting. A bit sweet but somehow fitting. As the beer warmed up red fruits and tropical fruits started coming through. Tasty, round, refreshing (rare for the style) and highly drinkable, a beer to get drunk on. Whether a beer or catholic priests, Consecrators should be kept away from children.

A very copper/red pour with light white head and lace. Aroma of malt and brown sugar. A caramel malt flavor that borders on being sweet a very nice warmth. Carbonation and mouthfeel very solid. A beer I’ve had often and thought that I had rated now I have. A very nice DB.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a translucent reddish brown with beige head. Nice sweet malty toasted caramel aroma. Flavor is very toasted malt like with nice molasses, light dark roast. Medium body with med-high carbonation. Overall it was pretty damned good.

bottle thanks to gregis. pourted a reddish/amber color with a thin beige head. aroma hits you with tons of malt. flavor was rich with caramel, malt, spice, and some nice hops. i really enjoyed this one. thanks again greg!

Dark pout, sweet malty smell as many others have stated. Surprising smooth finish. Just another good to great beer from Bells. Worth a sample...
