Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small tight lasting head. Aroma was nice light smell of malt, some dark fruit, a little doughy, and a hint of caramel. Taste was rather bland though, no hints of the dark fruits but heavy on the malt. Medium to full body with a bit of tangyness from the alcohol. Not bad I just wish the taste would have been a little closer to the smell.

Apr 16, 2008 Lookedk good, but just totally lacked any punch in the flavor. Not horrible on an absolute scale, but I was expecting much, much more for an abbey dubbel. Take a pass on this one.

Apr 5, 2008 Big malty nose. Pours a nice reddish brown color. VERY sweet. Not sure what I was expecting but "candy bar" was definitely not it. A little bit of fruit flavor, but my lips feel almost sticky after taking a drink.
Interesting beer, but interesting in a good way, not a pour it down the sink way.

Apr 3, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice clear ruby color with a modest light tan head and light lacing. On the pour, the aroma is extremely strong and vegetative, but that clears to sweet malts and dried fruits with some light clove and banana notes (although a vegetative funk continues to linger in the background). Flavor balances on the sweet side, but has enough tartness to keep interest. Medium-full bodied with moderately high prickly carbonation and a dose of alcoholic warmth, but not hot. Not terribly complex, but also not bad on balance.

Apr 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a sparkling ruby red with a beige head. Aroma is sweet and soft. Flavor is mostly dominated by malt. Alcohol is present along with a fruity finish. Clipper City has not let me down yet, this is what I expected, it could be better though, not bad for the price. Thanks TikiE
