Dec 20, 2007 Updated: Sep 5, 2008A nice dubbel-like aroma (which it is!). Flavor is smooth and spicy with a little fruit. Really goes down easy and has a nice balance. A little creamy.

Dec 11, 2007 Bottle shared by theisti at Indra’s tasting on 12/7/07. Pours a dark caramel brown with a thin skin of beige bubbles. The aroma is sweet and malty with big notes of brown sugar and raisins. Medium-bodied with soft, tongue-tickling carbonation, the palate concludes in a lingering malty finish. The flavor on this one follows the nose with a round, sweet-malt body supported by dark fruit (raisin). Quite nice. Thanks for sharing this one with us, Tim!

Dec 11, 2007 750 ml. bottle from Zinister, shared at the 12/7 tasting at Indra’s. Pour is caramel brown with a tan head that fades immediately. Aroma of dried fruit (primarily raisins) and Belgian yeastiness. Taste is a nice solid maltiness with raisins throughout. As it warms, the Belgian yeast flavor takes center stage. Nice full body, and extremely well balanced.

Nov 28, 2007 From the bottle, pours dark ruby with mahogany tones and a small khaki head. Rich sweet nose of chocolate covered raisin, cherry, port, and vanilla. Flavor is sweet, but never cloying due to the higher carbonation in the finish, palate remains crisp and light, getting away from the syrupy body that could have been. The depth really shows in the flavor, picking up the the raisin and almost prune sweet flavors up front, followed by chocolate, vanilla, and faint dark rum quality. This beer just keeps getting better as it warms, more fruit and subtle spices show. Very enjoyable beer.
