Deep plummy brown color, with bright crimson highlights streaming through...nice, though brief and slight, layer of fizz floating above.
Aroma: plum, raisin, date, maple syrup, dark fruits, deep cherries, grapes, ...intriquing, but not exceptional....
Taste: More of those same flavors from the nose here in the flavor, dark fruits aplenty, deep and plentiful, this is a nice double, but not in the realm of the transcendent. Nutty, fruity, dark, and just a little yummy. Full-bodied, with a long, fruity finish. A nice drinker, easy going, I’d recommend it, but not over any other dubbel...plenty of other tasty beers out there. I’d urge you to acquaint you with them, and not to worry about this one. I’ve tried it, time to move on to the next....

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours brown, amber brown. Sweet and malty thin bodied beer. Very small hints of fruits and unbalanced in my opinion.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle from circle. Pours a brown amber body with a dark off white head. Sweet and malty, notes of chocolate, caramel, dark fruity, and spices.

does not count  Oct 22, 2008 First poured from a bottle at the Blue Pearl in New Haven, CT, then found at a local retail store. The only thing keeping this from being the perfect beer is my belief that such a thing does not yet exist. Poured an attractive dark amber with just a little bit of head. The flavor combination of malt, caramel, and a hint of spice blended and progressed fantastically before leading to a mellow finish and overall sense of satisfaction. Definitely a beer to enjoy in smaller amounts/at a slower pace rather than in rounds at a bar.

Oct 18, 2008 Poured a dark brown/copper with a light tan head. Sweet malts, caramel, brown sugar, and raisins in the taste. Not as thick as I was expecting. Aftertaste was very smooth. Overall very good.

Oct 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 25, 2008Very deep copper coloured beer with transient tan head. Cherry and date aroma. Sweet cherry start leads to stewed plums, gooseberries. Plum is dominant. Thin bodied but reasonable.
