Commercial Description:
Brewed in the style of a Belgian monestary, it has a distinct aroma of plum and pears. The flavor has the sweetness of dark Belgian candy sugar paired with nuances of fruit and spice. A dense, rocky head sits atop this mahogany colored ale.

At the Newark, Delaware location: Dark red with a strong sweet scent. Very sweet and sugary, almost tea-flavored malt. Not my bag, but maybe if you like Belgians ...

Deep mahogony color. Aroma of banana and spice. Taste is banana and spice. Seemed to lack authenticity.

On tap @ Phoenixville. Seems a little too sweet. Overall pretty well balanced, lots of candy sugar, a little banana and spice. Finishes very well.

25.3 oz bottle from the Media, PA location. Pours a hazy coppery-reddish color with a one finger heas that settles into a thick collar & sticks to the glass. Aroma is of sweet fruity red wine. At first sip, the flavor matches the aroma exactly. There’s an initial sweetness followed by a dry tartness. If I didn’t know better, i’d swear this was a glass of red wine and not beer! As the beer warms, the sweetness seems to fade and a dry spicyness becomes apparent. Mouthfeel is medium fullness with some sparlke from the carbonation. Overall, this is one damned fine brew IMHO!

Tap at Wilmington. Hazy orange color. Tastes of yeast, brown sugar and an array of fruit; candied oranges and cherries. Medium to heavy bodied. Tangy finish. A very good dubbel.
