May 30, 2009 330 ml bottle. Cloudy orange-brown colour, off-white head that leaves some lacing. Very pleasant fruity and spicy aroma, with some yeast and a whiff of alcohol. The flavour is rather dry, fruity and spicy, with some bitterness and alcohol warmth in the finish.

May 17, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Good nose. Kinda fruity, little funky, a bit spicy. Flavor is similar but a little less than the nose. Very creamy and excellent mouthfeel. Dug it.

May 15, 2009 Bottle. Finally got to try this one. Dark brown color with a slight reddish tint. Typically large, foamy, Bernardus-like head that sticks around. Malt and yeast aroma. Sweet malty flavor that finishes dry with a caramel aftertaste. Also quite fruity, more than I expected. Nothing too intense though. Has a great texture, without being over-carbonated...like the other St. Bernard brews. An excellent beer. I will take the advice of others and age this one in the cellar. Can’t wait to re-rate it!

May 7, 2009 Doesn’t smeel that good, and I think the taste starts out good but then get’s a little cheap candy flavor. Sweet with a hint of red ale.

May 4, 2009 750ml bottle "Pierre Celis Signature Selection" looks exactly same as image but red label. Bought at Food Emporium summer of ’08. Pour is hued chestnut color. Nose is doughy with hints of malt. Taste of plum, molasses, and stained wood. Acidic alcoholic bitterness in the finish. A good dubbel

Apr 21, 2009 Murky brown to red, tiny offwhite head. Yeasty and mouldy aroma, like a cellar. It still has some fruity freshness in aroma. And maybe oat? Flavor has general grainyness and sweetness. Sort of crispy feel. Interesting.

Apr 19, 2009 750ml bottle from BevMo. Pours reddish with a tan head. Smells perfumy with a nice wild floral tinge. Tastes of mild sugar, some tangy hops and cherries as well as a slight peppery finish.

Apr 7, 2009 (Bottle from Fat Cat, Norwich) Pours dark brown/red with some froth. Smells a bit soapy with some spices and perhaps cinnamon, but nothing really stands out. Coffeish flavour, with a dry bitter aftertaste. A little dark fruit but again, nothing stands out. Nice though.
As it warms some good cinnammon definately enters the picture, with some spices and apple - this is really quite good at this stage. Still very little sweetness though. I originally had it at celler temperature and this did not do the beer justice, once it warms this is a tasty little beast.
