Nov 2, 2007 Updated: Nov 8, 2007Bottle from Zug4abby. Thanks, wherever you are these days. Pours a deep amber red with an off white head. Aggressive aroma of raisen, maple, and vanilla. Initial flavor of dark fruits and vanilla that transitions to flavors of yeast, grains, and figs. Lots of phenols on the finish, with a wisp of booziness. Not bad. Could use a little more heft in the malt department for my personal tastes. Wife loved it

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to Hophead22. Had to pour hard to get a thin light tan head that disappears instantly over a dark brown-red body. Faint aroma of candied fruits, raisins. Feels a bit flat on the tongue wonder if the cork didn’t really hold up. Taste is great, raisins, light molasses, prunes, candi sugar.

Apr 23, 2007 A lovely domestic example of a Belgian dubbel, more substantial and satisfying than Allagash’s roughly comparable effort. I like the lively, fizzy mouthfeel, especially insofar as it doesn’t compromise the robust flavors, which include brown sugar, sweet raisins, and some lovely bready notes. A bit of a tart finish from the yeast, this is a damn fine beer.

Mar 25, 2007 Blind rating at sk8viking´s. Pours a brown hazy with an off-white head. Smells of alcohol. Quite sweet with caramel flavors. Also yeast notes and spicy/grassy hints. High carbonation. Long sweet caramel finish.
