Poured a dark brown, with a small, off white, creamy head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel malts, some toffee, nuts, and roasted malts. Much of the same in the taste, with a near cloying mouthfeel. Cocoa, roasted malts, candy sugar, raisins, caramel, with a hint of alcohol in the finish.

Oct 6, 2008 On the dark side of what I would expect from a dubbel. Pretty full aroma of roasted caramel, malt. A hint chocolate is there as well. Flavor is really smooth (thank you bottle conditioning). There is a rich brown sugar, yeast and caramel flavor to this one. Palate is extremely smooth up front, rich and robust, then ends with a slight bitterness. Another excellent beer from our friends at Bells.

Oct 5, 2008 2 year old bottle. Dark black with a thin beige head. Smells of molasses, chocolate, coffee, raisins, grapes, and dates. Strong, potent flavor with lots of cocoa, espresso, figs, plums, molasses, soy sauce, and vinegar. Aging nicely, actually better than I expected, and I bet it could go for a few more years..

Oct 4, 2008 Beautiful beer. Pours almost black. Smells fruity and slightly of monk basement. Tastes are many here: chocolate, coffee, fruit, licorice and dirt finish. I like it. I think it’s a decent example of the style.
