Mar 28, 2007 This beer features a beautifully rich maltiness that is like sticking your head into a bin of caramel malts. There is a good bit of yeast fruitiness, a good bit of melon and maybe a bit of cooked carrot. Balanced with hop bitterness, but the bitterness is a bit self-effacing.

Mar 25, 2007 Thick muddy brown color with an offwhite head that clears after a couple of minutes. Smells of yeast and caramel. Taste up front is of malt and caramel. The alcoholic finish is a little abrupt and dis orienting. Big ups to realale 420 for the trade.

Mar 25, 2007 Bottled. An unclear orange-brown beer with a rim of orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with quite strong notes of hops, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, straw, and hops. Not very Belgian.

Mar 23, 2007 Updated: Apr 2, 2007Aroma is raisins/figs/dark dried fruits, subtle bubble gum, clove and pepper. Quite complex and rich, the malt dominates.
Appearance is ruby in color with a thin halo of bubbles that persists for longer than a minute. Not the billowy foam I’d find on most dubbels.
Flavor is rich, roasty, bready, caramel, raisins, figs, liquorice, spicy & malt focused. Back end spicy noble hop flavor can be found, but is really subtle. Sweetness/bitterness is well balanced. Overall malt focused with a nice estery/phenolic balance found through a great fermentation.
Mouthfeel is peppery with medium-high carbonation. Mild carbonic bite and a clean, dry finish.
Overall, this is really impressive and I will drink it again and again. It really hits the marks for a Beglain style Dubbel.
Flame deleted :P
