| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Full nose of spicy brown sugar yeast, toast, nuts and dark fruit. Up front, though, it’s candied sugar cherry and a little wet/harsh/thin. Even smells a little bit boozy for 7-8%. Seems like it has the gravity to try to be a stronger Belgian, but as that it lacks body and smoothness. For a dubbel, it’s decent enough, has some nice sugary yeast esters, some caramel malt and candied bananas, but again, it lacks smoothness. Good but not great. madsberg (4966), Søborg, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2007 It pours a slightly hazy, brownish orange body with a tight little off-white head. Nice aroma of sweet malts, dark fruits (dried and fresh), molasses, and a lightly soapy yeast. Light bodied, it’s sweet with caramel, candi sugar, dark juicy fruit, watered molasses, and yeast. Finishes sweet with a low alcohol burn. Not bad.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 19, 2007 Dark copper color with a lid of off white bubbles. Interesting aromas of raisins, asparagus and melons. Light earthy malt and stewed dark fruit are present, but certainly not big and robust. Quite light, perhaps in the tasting the finer qualities were lost, just seemed quite faint. BückDich (4848), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Bottle: Dark mahogany color with a ruby tinge through the light. A nice creamy thick tan head rests ontop with a lusterous ring of lacing around the outside. The nose is initially raisins, fig, other darker fruits along with molasses and brown sugar. Some muscovado and musky earthy hops. Plenty of thick body and yeasty esters. Leather and dates dance with cherry and vanilla. Creamy balanced finish, smooth mouthfeel. Quite good!

Poured dark brown color with medium off-white frothy head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium malty, woody, raisin, yeast aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 21, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. This one was not carbonated at all. Hazy deep ruby pour with aroma of pumperkickly caramel malt, banana, funky yeast, some brown sugar, prune, oaky cognac, cheddar cheese, spices. Tastes caramel malty, with cabernet, funky cheesy yeast notes, port, cherry, oaky cognac, and bourbon. It came off like a non-carbonated cross between Sly Fox Ichor and Avery 13, with a dash of Stone 666.
