Dec 30, 2008 Tap at La Jolla location. Deep amber colour. Aroma is quite spicy and fruity. A bit of plumminess and a soft toasted rye component. Lightly fruity and malty. A touch of black pepper and a touch of booziness. Soft and chewy with a light clovey character. As it warms, a nice raisiny baked christmas pudding component comes to the fore. Really much better than I expected and a pretty solid dubbel.

Nov 27, 2008 At Karl in C’Bad. Pours brown/red with a thin offwhite head, some lace. Smells sweet bready and yeasty with a good amount of sweet dark fruit. Raisins and plums, ripe and red. Tastes about the same. Sweet with dark, ripe fruits and yeast, bread, clove flavors. Medium body, good carbonation. Nice. Get it with the cheese and fruit plate if offered. Awesome. This brew goes well with some sugar.

Jul 27, 2008 Sample at the Sorrento Valley location. This brew is a dark reddish-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Thin rings of lacing. Aroma of yeast and spices as well as some sweet malt. Medium body with flavors of malt, yeast and cloves along with some dark fruit in the background. The finish is mildly spiced with a fruity aftertaste. Above average overall.

Jul 25, 2008 On tap at the Universal City location. Pours a clear red with no head at all (even upon agitation). No real strong aroma, some sweetness with cotton candy. Taste is some dark fruits with concord grapes. A very weak attempt.

Jan 23, 2008 draft - Pours dark amber with a big head and an aroma of malt and dark fruit. It has a sweet malt flavor with dark fruit notes and some hops that sneaks up in the finish along with some alcohol presence. Apparently I liked this one more than most people.

Jul 26, 2007 Draft at the downtown brewpub. Aroma of malt and hop. Dark amber color with an ephemeral white head. Medium bodied, with mild carbonation. Very malty sweet with some light spice and enough bitter to notice. Arguably non-descript fruit notes. Heat at the finish.
