Oct 28, 2007 750 mL bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with a hint of purple and a bubbly beige head. The aroma is banana peel, anise, some sweet fudge, mild tobacco, a few stray citrus notes. The flavor is very yeasty, with lots of sweet bread notes. Some banana, anise, and caramel follow, then some peanuts and wood. It finishes with a slightly tannic, fruity note. Not bad.

Oct 23, 2007 On tap/bottle many times. Had a pint last weekend at the Neighborhood and realized that I hadn’t rated this one. Im not a huge fan of dubbel’s, but this is pretty good stuff. Dark brown color, nice aroma of fruit and yeast. Flavor is nice, dominated by raisin and prune with a touch of alcohol.

Oct 22, 2007 Pours a murky brown color with a thin offwhite head. Nice aroma of leather, yeast and caramel, there’s a rich malt presence too. Good flavor of caramel, leather, caramel, there’s a luscious malt presence and there’s astringency in the finish. The body is full with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation.

Oct 19, 2007 The beer pours from the 750ml cork and caged bottle a rather hazy brownish red with a large creamy light tan head that fades away leaving a velum like coating of lace. Nose is rich in sweet malt, fruit aromas; I’d say cherries with a bit of raisins. Start is fruity sweet; the malt presence makes the top feel moderate, touch of alcohol bitterness at the back. Finish has a spiny acidity, alcohol warms the belly, and hops provide some spiciness, dry and long lasting aftertaste, quite a nice drinking beer.

Oct 5, 2007 750 ml bottle shared at Glouglouburps rooftop tasting. Poured a muddy brown with a tight bubbly quickly disipating light tan head. Sweet aroma of flowers, chocolate, dark fruit, yeast and a spot of alcohol. Medium palate but was a touch overcarbonated. Flavor was rather sweet with lots chocolate , flowers and yeast. Reminded me of a chocolate flavored Belgian dubbel.
