| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2005 On tap at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur, GA: Hazy copper ruby brown color with a frothy light tan head with nice thin lacing. Bready Belgian yeasty aroma has a sweet grainy caramel malt presence and good authenticity. Starts with a semi-sweet earthy maltiness turning much drier toward a warming toffee finish. Nice authenticity and balance, but could hide the alcohol better for the amount there is. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

Clear brown color with an average sized white head.
Aroma comes on as it warms providing some malt and fruitiness. Although the palate isn’t qite as rich and chewy as I like my Dubbels to be, this provides a nice easy drinking brew that delivers some nice malt and fruit flavors on a palate that is light and never heavy. Smooth and very drinkable. JohnC (2286), Mission Viejo, California, USA

I really enjoyed this beer. Reddish/amber color with a sweet nose, this is a tasty brew. The flavor is fruity/caramelly. TheBeerGod (3167), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2005 Draft at The County Grill on 2-19-05. Awesome that I found this there! Copper body with a small creamy white head. Nose is sweet with candy sugar, light spices, flowers and ripe fruits. Taste was nice! Sweet malts, some spiciness, more floral notes, hints of cookies, ripe fruit, and some bubblegummy notes. Full bodied with moderate carbonation feel. Finish is more fruit and sweet notes, light flowery notes, caramel, and bubblegum. Nice beer! FROTHINGSLOSH (2033), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA

It poured a caramel color with a small tan head. The aroma was sweet molasses and caramel. The flavor was sweet, sugary, and had some molasses, caramel and light fruit. A subdued hop presence was in the background. The mouthfeel was reasonably thick. Reminded me very strongly of Maredsous Double. Dickinsonbeer (3496), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 9, 2005 Draft. Medium brown/red body with a small but creamy off-white head. Sour yeast aroma with some light fruits and a bit of real sugar. Perhaps some buble gum as well. As expected; a yeast heavy flavor with a moderate sweetness and building acidity to keep things in check. Bitterness is very low but pleasant. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. The bottom line is: good, drinkable and fun...but not as complex as I was hoping for...the yeast is a bit heavy handed for my tastes as well.
