| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 5, 2008 Bottle from Glouglouburp. Word. This is an awesome dubbel. Pour is dark brown with a beautiful, firm tan head. Full aroma of plum, fig, yeast, cumin, and lavender. Or something. Dought flavor, very dry, tons of dark fruit. Everything here comes together perfectly. The only other dubbel I’ve had that can go toe to toe with this is the Midnight Sun. All else pale. RCL (1496), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Great looking beer. Dark chestnut color and a creamy tan head. Quite spicy nose, but the spice in the flavor is not too intense. Sweet, spicy flavor with a lengthly yeasty banana finish. This beer is delicious. Diogène (584), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Big yellowish beige lasting head. Deep amber body with carbonation. Harmonic spicy, herbal aroma of cardamom, ginger, muscat, anise, and a pile of other spices. Dry-sweet intensely spicy taste with much the same character, but also malts, fruit, and banana. Dry feeling settles in the mouth. Very impressive for the clarity and distinctness of the taste and aroma, which is at the same time extremely harmonic. Tastes like a spice garden. I’m deeply impressed. (0.5l bottle traded from glouglouburp.) mgermani (865), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Feb 26, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a small foam ring. Aroma of concorde grapes, garam masala, and sweet port - nice! Taste does not disappoint - Hops, alcohol, tart and vinous with a satisfying spicy (again with the curry) finish which lingers.Maple syrup, munich malt. Good carb! Thin bug ok body, grape-juice mouthfeel after swallowing. This beer is complex - warms the stomach, satisfying, and a good conversation piece. Thanks to Boutip for the trade!
