Aug 18, 2008 On tap at the Portland Deschutes pub. Pours dark brown, red hues at the edges, small white head. Sweet malt nose with a nice spiciness to it. Caramel and dark cherry flavors to the malts, soft clove to the spices in the finish. I thought this turned out to be a really nice beer, my only thoughts were a bit more dryness in the finish would have helped.

Apr 6, 2009 ON tap at Portland location. Color was darkish amber with an off white head. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit. Flavor was the same with a lot of sweetness and sugar. A bit earthy as well. Some floral and yeasty notes in the finish. Solid.

Jul 8, 2008 On the X-tap at Deschutes in PDX--Served in a snifter, poured a dark amber-brownish body with a small wispy beige head. Fruity, nutty, malty sweet nose with spicy abbey flare and a chewy, gritty bite. This is perhaps the nicest example of a Belgian I have experienced at Deschutes. Similar to St. Bernardus Abt 12. great desert brew for that end of the evening enjoyment.

Jul 22, 2008 Chestnut color with a frothy tan head. Classic, yeasty, earthy dubbel aromas of spices and dusty dark malts. The taste mirrors the aroma with dry malts and earthy yeast, with rootbeer sweet spices. Very nice beer here. Draft@ the Deschutes Portland location.

Aug 16, 2008 Tasted @ the Deschutes Brewery and Public House in Portland.
Brown/amber colored brew. Yeasty, malty aroma and flavor. Some spices and sugary flavor. Nice try for an abbey dubbel, but they’ve got to add the magic touch..

Aug 24, 2008 Winter spiced aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and dried oranges. Very dark brown, orange hues on the edges. Great use of the spice to compliment and support the beer, nothing fights for attention here. thinner mouthfeel than expected, gulping this was no problem.

Aug 12, 2008 On tap at brewpub. Dark amber with thin head. Musty yeast and light sweet malt aroma. Mix of spice and roast that just doesn’t sit all that well. OK, but a test at best.

Mar 15, 2009 On tap at the pub in Portland. Copper colored pour with a moderate white head. Nice spicy aroma, nutmeg and caramel. Taste is a little too sweet for me, very heavy on the brown sugar and caramel. A solid offering.
