From a 750 ml bottle. Light garnet colored body with a medium tan colored head. Toffee and some plums come out in the initial nose. There is a nice brown sugar hint in here hiding behind the other lightly fruity smells. Bits of toffee mix with some coffee for the first taste. As one drinks more, you start to get iced tea and a waxy feeling finish.

bottle, september 08. Clear, rubby copper color witha medium, creamy cremé head. Aroma is fruity with a caramel and banana touch. Some spice, quite restrained. Flavor is ripe fruit, bananas and a slight coffee touch. Slightly phenollic with a short earthy aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium, some chewy malt and easy drinking but with a sudden watery finish. Ok, easy drinking dubbel that could do with a bit more personality.

Bottle, pours hazy amber with a little off-white head. Nose of malt, berries and yeast. Sweet/ sour burned malt flavour with notes of dark fruit. Rathe watery palate. Medium bodied. Ends up more dry.

murky brown under a frothy tan head. aroma is unappealing with some faint caramel, raisin and a good bit of alcohol. flavor is slightly nutty, pear, plum, brown sugar light flowery hops. drinkable but not too exciting.
