Feb 9, 2008 Color is a beautiful dark honey-golden, cloudy and opaque, with a decent white head. Aroma is strong, malty, with fruity undertones. Flavor is rich, mainly malty with a touch of apple, and just a whisper of hoppy bitterness. Velvety smooth and mouth-filling, this is a beer to sip and appreciate.

Feb 10, 2005 Hazy, chestnut brown with virtually no head. A rather subdued aroma with a bit of ripe fruit, sweet apples, caramel, biscuit, toffee, nuts, whole grains, raisins, plums and a mild spicy character. The body is rather thin and uneventful. Flavors are present, but quite diminished. The sweetness is in control throughout, though bits of earith hops give a mild bitterness in the finish. Nothing too exciting, but it was nice to see a Belgian-style offering.

The pour was scotch ale brown, with a minimal, yet persistent head. The nose was not too potent, but gave off an apple and sin-o-mon aroma. The flavor: very fruity for a dubbel, again apples and peach. This doesn’t fit into the roasty - chocolate type of dubbel. The finsih is mild and sweet, with a medium body. I’m curious about the ABV - I’m guess about 6%.

Dec 18, 2003 Draft at Max Lager's in downtown Atlanta. This beer had a small sized head with fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. The body was uncarbonated, murky and a copper hue. The nose was hoppy with a hoppy and malty flavor. The mouthfeel was somewhat tingly on my tongue with a bit of an aftertaste to it. This beer had a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass.
