Meaty bloody scents underneath a hot fuesal toast and brown sugar chemical nose. Not as bad as it sounds, that’s just how my nose interpreted the scent - it’s still an OK dubbel. Wet palate, semi-bland flavors of wheat, rye and tin - overall very unexciting.

Jul 27, 2008 Draught @ Issaquah Brew House. Pours a hazy orange color with a longlasting off-white head. Sweet fruity yeasty aroma with some spicy hints. Sweetish malty and slightly yeasty spicy flavor with some hints of orange. Sweet malty spicy aftertste.

Jan 15, 2007 Same as the Eugene City Dubbel. On tap at the Eugene Rogue House. Pours a very dark cherry red with a thin fast falling white head. Very sweet dubbel with a lot of cherry fruitiness in the candy sweet start. Very big malts but dried out a lot in the finish, it kept it from being really thick and made it nice and drinkable. Nice spiciness in the finish, light cloviness.

May 16, 2006 Decent, but I like beers that are more true to style and Arlen always seem to make beers that are Belgian in the beginning and then becomes NW style clones of said style. Not really a dubbel, but a really kind of weaker belgian ale, some light yeastiness and very light hints of candi sugar, with some citrus fruits and alot of NW style hoppiness. Hazy and kind of chewy maltiness. Bland at best.

Apr 20, 2006 Draught 100% yeast hazy with probably orange-foxy colour, like rough-pressed orange; no head left. Very perfumey, citrussy, indeed Belgian ale-like nose. Citrus, orange zest, some pale malts, and very many yeast esters; peach like. Medium bodied, slick, but refreshing enough - a dubbel? Surprising "Belgian", even when it might appear cartoon-like next to real Belgian brews.
