| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2005 Pours a reddish brown color. I was put off by the lack of any real head on this one. It almost LOOKS watery. Sweet aroma with a tad bit of roasted nuts and some fruit. Decent taste at the start is molasses sweet with a bit of candied fruit. Watery finish really hurts the flavor and there is no real kick here. It’s a decent beer but not something that makes you stand up and take notice. JK (2961), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Aug 8, 2005 I love dubbels but this beer is a total failure at being one. A brown beer with an unpleasant sweet potato aroma. Only a hint of malt. Don’t bother. aobecksy (661), Middle of no where, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 5, 2005 Updated: Jun 27, 2006I have not been much of a fan of the beers I have had from this brewer in the past, but this is the first I have stopped to rate. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a mahogany color with a small creamy tan head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a chocolate element. The flavor is rich and sweet and has a strong chocolate note. Not a bad brew, but really does not taste much like a dubbel to me. TomDecapolis (3196), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2005 Poured a amber/brown color. Sweet molasses aroma with some light fruits, caramel, toast and almonds in the taste. This was a nice dubbel from a New Jersey brewery that can be hit or miss. 5000 (2480), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2005 Bottle: Translucent copper, thin frothy off-white head, fairly nice lacing, extremely light carbonation. Thick bready aroma, subtle grain/oat, touch of plum. Enjoyable breadiness up front, very slight plum or date mention, but a definite Lakerol Menthol Licorice flavor, which I have enjoyed since I was a kid. Moderate body and mouthfeel, not as robust as a true Belgian. Clean finish, decent, but not very complex. Anywho, still enjoyable. Thanks Jeff for the freebie!
