Sep 22, 2008 Deep brown color with a moderate to light head. Lots of tiny bubbles helped. Sweet alcoholic aroma. On the first few sips there was an astringent husky background with a tannin dry palate. This overshadowed the nice dark fruit character. Yeast flavor dominated with sweet brown suger with a port like aftertaste. Alcohol discernable. Moderate fruitynes. The astringency seemed to fade as the bottle was consumed. Only a moderate body. An OK ale, not as good as many Belgian Dubbels, but rather enjoyable. Smoothe finish.

Sep 22, 2008 Gentle, hazy chestnut brown with ring of head. Easy malting with a yeasty-sourness more reminiscent of a sour-brown ale piqued by notes of figs. Body is a flavorful medley of figs, caramel malts and some mild sour-yeasty notes. An excellent if perplexing drinking experience. Abbey Dubbel meets Flanders sour-brown and with rousing success.

Sep 19, 2008 Dark with red, ruddy highlights. The nose is thick and cloying; full of dates and raisins. The raisin flavor is prominent, but it is definately at dubbel at heart. I am not fond of raisins, so I wish I could have this beer w/o them. I think a plain dubbel from the Lost Abbey would be great. Too bad.

Sep 18, 2008 750ml bottle. Luckily I went outside to open this one out as it was a little bit of a gusher. Poured a deeper mahogany color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of yeast, raisin bread, bananas, light chocolate, figs, some spices, and caramel. Tastes of yeast, dark fruits, light spices, chocolate, and light bananas. Alcohol content well hidden. Lively body.

Sep 15, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured a very nice dark brown, with a red hue to it, pretty. Kind of smells like a raisin box, interesting. Very smooth drinker, can taste the fruit in there, very enjoyable.
