| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 26, 2008 2007 bottle - Rich amber color with a larger than average off-white head. Aroma is quite sweet with some brown sugar, raisins, and light summer & vinous fruits. Flavor has a nice sugary malt backing with that distinct CL yeast, fruits, and a nice hint of hops coming through at the end. Pleasant feel - as always, Scott comes through with a really nice beer in a style that is full of mediocre brews. Wonderful! TURDFERGUSON (1606), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2008 Bottle shared by ethan and aubrey at the CC gathering. Man, I haven’t been drinking too many dubbels or tripels lately so this really hit the spot. Very nicely balanced with fruits, spices, and chewy malts. Not too sweet either. Another great one from the Captain! JCB (1796), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2008 Shared by emacgee at the Carolina crew gathering. Man, now this is a tart and fruity dubbel. It’s got amazingly lively carbonation, and manages to avoid the dull sticky character that a lot of American renditions fall into. Lively with spice, yeast, and fruits, complex but balanced by a dry and hoppy finish. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

Pours a nice ruddy reddish brown with a 1-2 finger creamy tan head. The nose is sweet, fruity, a little alcohol coming in, earthy. Nice flavor, sweet, fruity, Belgian yeast, meaty, distinctly a dubbel but a good one at that. Very nice carbonation. CL has yet to let me down. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA

The beer is a dark reddish-brown color with a thick and foamy light beige head that recedes slowly. Slick, patchy lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of malt, ripe fruit and yeast with some spices. Medium body with flavors of malt, dark fruit and yeast along with some hops. The finish is smooth and fruity with a mild spice and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
