From the bottle. Way to much carbonation in this one, even with the slowest of pours it was all foam, had to wait a bit. Deep brown in color with lots of sediment. Rich sweet malt up front with a dry faintly hopped finish. Very estery with some banana and light spiciness in the finish.

Wonderful mountain of sea foam head. Sweet and nutty tones abound. Sour and snappy finish. Huge mouthfeel, along with the carbonation means a nice, slow enjoyment.

Hazy brown with huge head. Aroma is a bit sour with a hint of bananna. Sourish malt dominates taste and mouthfeel is simply fizzy. $3/11.2oz

Murky brown with a big head. Has a sort of sweet and sour taste. Caught whiffs of maple syrup, malt and a very slight pineapple like scent in the aroma and taste. Really good.

Cloudy deep brown with a large airy beige head. As the commercial description says, it has an effervescent nose that had me wincing away as I sniffed deeply straight after the pour. As the head finally dwindled away it revealed a rather bock-like aroma with beef stock and some molasses. Flavour is reasonably bitter, more than I would expect from a dubbel. Excessively carbonated, but that was no real surprise given how it started. Carried the alcohol well, but in doing so also seemed a little watery. A lesser light from a brewer that certainly has beers covering a wide range of quality.

The head on this thing was ridiculous. A murky brown dubbel. Relatively complex, a good little beer.
