Bottle poured a clear cinnamon brown with a long lasting amber head. Aromas of raisins, toffee, and spices. Palate was medium bodied, dry and a bit astringent. Flavors of dark fruit, spices and a bit of smoke with a dry bittersweet finish.

Oct 5, 2008 On tap at KSBF ’08. Medium amber body with a large head. Lightly sweet and spicy nose. Flavor was sweet and sticky, some spicy esters, rather bland. This is supposed to pass as a dubbel? Next.

Oct 2, 2008 dark brown with a lot of carbonation without much head. little nose. flavor of dark candi sugar, very little caramel malt. very little malt complexity. a little hop bitterness. understated weak beer, poor example of the style

Oct 1, 2008 Smooth, very nutty and full of a caramel rich flavor. Pleasantly surprised, but I think the caramel flavor is a little overbearing but still very drinkable...

Sep 17, 2008 Beer pours from the bottle a ruby color with a small head that does stick around. It has a malty, sweet aroma and it tastes just about the same. It is good, if a little light in body. Maybe a bit to sweet.
