| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2008 750ml caged and corked bottle. Pours murky brown with a glimmer if red, small tan head. Smells of toffee, dough, dark fruit, caramel, light spice. Taste is the same but fruitiness is more prevalent. Good dubbel but doesn’t hold up to the Belgian examples. OSLO (827), Minnesota, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2009 750 ml. bottle. shared with Gabe. Pours a thin long lasting tan head, with some lacing, over a cloudy, medium amber (SRM 15) cloudy, with some floaties, body......nose of fig, raisin, sweetened breads....taste of sweet dried fruits, cherry, fig raisin, with a mild bitterness toward the end, alcohol tones are present.....mouth feel is light, carbonation low. This is really more typical of an Abt/Quad or a Belgian Strong style than the usual Dubbel. The malt back bone is not as pronounced as most and the phenolic/ester from the yeast really comes forward. It illustrates how wide styles really are. xmarcnolanx (798), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2007 A nice, dark ale. Very much a peppery, estery belgian-style ale. Tastes of coriander, a little bit of caramely raisin and also banana. A good beer, but really not my style. I cannot say that it is not well crafted, because it is definitely that. I just do not appreciate the style as much as I should I guess. beachbum25 (797), Powellville, Maryland, USA

Sweet, biscuit aroma. Flavors of bread dough, malt, caramel, dark fruit, raisins, fig, & molasses. Had a sweetness to it, but not in a cloying or sickening way. Deep, full, satisfying sweet malt backbone. Very easy drinking; alcohol well hidden. Long malt finish; quite good! Thanks Joshua!!! grimreeser (797), Minnesota, USA
