Mar 18, 2009 Very pleasant beer. High drinkability. Compares nicely to most Belgian dubbels. No flavor jumps out at you, to my taste it is rather neutral. I usually don’t like drinking Belgians with food but I think this would pair with almost anything.

Mar 16, 2009 Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Deep copper color wtih a good sized white head. Tons of fruit and malt up front on the nose with some woody and vanilla notes. Flavor has some sweetness, syrup, brown sugar, and a nice element of bitterness lends balance. Nice.

Mar 15, 2009 C&PLYFOTD: Bottle, courtesy jdubFL. Hazy copper pour, big fluffy white head and creamy lacing. Rich dark fruits in the nose, some chocolate, slight oak and vanilla. Flavor has some dark fruit with slight chocolate, but kinda muted overall. Full-bodied, feels lacking though, as the nose has a lot more promise than the flavor.

Feb 20, 2009 Thanks to Swolf3 for this bottle. Pours dark copper brown with a tall smooth beige head. Estery spiced nose, hints of fig and a soft alcohol heat to it. Body was airy and dry, felt like the water was pretty soft, pretty airy overall. Finish has a soft oak flavor and slight berry and anise flavor staying behind.

Jan 20, 2009 750ml bottle via trade a long, long time ago. Pours a deep murky brown with a slight ruby hue. A beige ring left a touch of lacing. Big nose of dark fruits (figs, dates, raisins, plums) also light Belgian funk. Sweet and fruity flavor, one of the better Dubbel’s out there IMO.

Jan 13, 2009 <i>My bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of my Summer Secret Santa 2008.</i> Pours a murky orange-amber with an orange-amber with a large rocky off-white head. Subtle aroma is yeasty along with caramel malt, dark fruit and light herbal hops. Flavour’s sweet and malty along with yeast, brown sugar, light hops and dark fruit. Some alcohol but pretty well hidden. Average bodied. Quite good.

Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 2009Bottle (750ml) Shared by blankboy with me, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev. Murky brown with an average creamy beige head (4-). Lighly hoppy aroma - dry herbal bitterness - plus light sweet malt and, weirdly, latex paint. The taste is herbal, mildly sweet, with dusty-dry bitter yeast, and a hint of celery. Average body, no alcohol to speak of - a subtle, solid, but not amazing example - frankly, it’s more bitter and herbal than I recall a dubbel ever being.

Dec 13, 2008 Appearance: almost clear light brown with dark amber accents. Very large soft frothy cloud like head. Fragmental lace. Aroma: slightly creamy front with light hint of spice and zestiness. Brown malts sitting below. Fairly ordinary nose. 6- Flavor/Palate: full bodied with lighter sides. Simplicity going into complexity. Frontal light brown malt character flowing, merging with slight funk of spice and citrus ending fuller with drying woody alcohol notes. Bottom sweetness paired with slight woody hints, peppery top, even earthy. Strong Old Ale that you should submerged into one.
