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. nolankowal (850), Columbus, Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2008 On first crack, it smells like you just opened a box of SunMaids... and it pours a completely opaque amber with some tan head that sticks around. On first taste, its like Fig Newtons with some raisins...but it finishes on a bitter, hoppy note.Good stuff! KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
