jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jan 21, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours a dissipating off white head and cloudy orange color. Aroma is medium fruit-peach/apricot, light/medium malt and wheat, yeast. Taste is medium fruit-peach, light/medium malt-caramel and wheat, yeast, secondary hops bite with some metallic, musty and tangy. Good effervescence. Occasional.
machfive55 (65), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 25, 2008 I wasn’t all that impressed with this beer. It was really tough to drink for a dubbel and I really like belgian beers in general. There is just something slightly off with this, so maybe I got unlucky and got a bad bottle. I thought it was more on the malty side and there were less fruity notes than I would expect with a dubbel. I big beer for sure, and mostly undrinkable. timsilvia32 (252), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Jul 17, 2008 Light brown pour. Pretty aromatic, good amount of carbonation. A little bit of sweetness, toffee, fruit, apple that blends well with the toffee. It don’t remember it calling out the abv, would never have guessed 7.5. Not bad, more of a dark beer fan. nick76 (2054), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 26, 2008 The aroma is rather weak for the style. But it does have toffee, caramel, yeast, grains, and fruit. The appearance is deep amber with haze but no head to speak of. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thick. Overall it’s really enjoyable. wcampbell (437), Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 28, 2008 Definitely the best beer of the variety pack. Nice, fruity flavor, with some piney hops. Medium to full bodied. Completely hidden alcohol. Lightly bitter finish. Palidor19 (1320), Brandon, Florida, USA Feb 22, 2008 Solid drinking beer, its got a fantastic look and flavor of fruit, grass and some sharp pine. Mouth mouth feels sharp with high carbonation. This is quite a pleasant surprise.
