Nov 16, 2007 Thanks for sharing Sick_boy. Pours with a clear, deep red body topped by a thick, off-white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with notes of dark fruit and a grassy hoppy note. Much more hoppiness showing through than expected. The aroma is a little more floral. Medium to full bodied, smooth and a touch tingly on the tongue.

Nov 15, 2007 Bottle: Pours a clear copper with a light tan head. Aroma, dark fruits, with some yeasty notes, leading to caramel and molasses. Flavor, fruity up front, followed by caramel and brown sugar, there is some citrus in the background with some light sourness, and a mild sweetness, kinda chewy on the palate, this stuff was really nice.

Nov 11, 2007 This opened up in my glass like several other great dubbels that I had tasted. It poured into a glorious head with a shaking skirt of bubbles. The first taste was like the last with dark maltiness and an interesting array of flavors to follow.

Nov 8, 2007 Bottle: Poured a medium brown color ale with a big foamy head with some good retention and some lacing. Aroma consist of sweet Belgian malt with some dry fruits characteristics such as dry figs and plums. Taste of sweet Belgian malt with some notes of dry fruits characteristics. Body is full with a creamy texture and some pretty good carbonation. I thought this was a bit too boozy overall to really enjoy on a regular basis thought.

Nov 7, 2007 Murky. A bit of a boozy whiskey and brandy nose, containing candy sugar, heavy yeast phenols, and some fresh, crisp apples and brown sugar. Even some smoky caramel around the edges (so it tastes a bit like caramel apples). Thinner than expected, but I understand this isn’t a huge beer, but I did get more alcohol in the nose than I expected. Finishes mildly lactic and sour. It’s weird, different, and overall tasty.

Nov 4, 2007 Updated: Nov 5, 2007750 ml bottle. Pours a god looking amber with a great looking creamy head that lasts and lasts. Sweet aroma of yeast and sugar. Flavor is very sweet and yeasty with hints of a more sugary base lying beneath. This is one nice brew.
