Jul 17, 2007 on tap @HopfestNC-pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt, medium fruit. Taste is some sweetness/caramel, medium malt, medium fruit, clove/pepper, yeast. Good effervescence. Occasional. Finishes with too much spice.

Apr 21, 2007 Growler courtesy of kp sampled on 1/4/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Sweet, toasty bready Belgian caramel malty aroma has a nice yeasty presence and good authenticity. Starts sweet and fairly full with a mild peppery yeasty balance. A well brewed Belgian dubbel.

Jan 23, 2007 Light amber color with white head. Aroma is of sweet malts and dried fruit. Flavor is of dried fruits, kind of a dry yeasty finish.

Jan 20, 2007 Growler. Poured a lightly hazed copper color with a thin off-white head. Fruity and phenolic aroma with notes of peaches and apples. Very fruity. The flavor was fruity, estery and yeasty. Lighter side of a medium body.

May 11, 2006 12-ounce bottle. Amber to near brown. Off-white head dissipates pretty much right away. Great mouthfeel--has some of the bubbly rawness of an American ale, but not so much that it completely deviates from what you’d expect out of a Belgian. There’s mild fruity tartness on the tongue, but mostly a balanced sweetness--bananas and caramel are right on the nose. The finish is light. This is one of the more refreshing Belgian-style glassfuls I’ve had in a while.

Jan 9, 2006 (entered from notes a few months old) Pours honey-copper with off-white head. The aroma is peaches and cloves with some malt. The flavor is citrus, semi-sweet malt, banana, peach, and some caramel. Not bad.
