CaptainCougar (4633), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 2, 2003 Dark ruby copper color with a thin light tan, short-lived head and mostly flat body. Sugary dark malt aroma with some fruitiness. Thin watery mouthfeel has a light sourness and plenty of sweetness to mask the alcohol quite well. Finishes sticky and sugary. Has a somewhat authentic bready Belgian malt character and hints of Belgian yeast. A decent dubbel, but not one of McNeill's better brews.
dirtymike (2019), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 10, 2005 Amber/ruby in color with a small light tan head. Aroma is sweet,malty, bready with mild fruit. Flavor is of caramel malt,nutty,chocolate and some alcohol. Volgon (2458), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 14, 2004 Updated: May 31, 2005Clear ruby with a thin off-white small-bubbled head. Sweet aroma with dark fruits (plums), medium bodied, sugary sweet tastes. Ends a bit watery. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA May 13, 2004 Hazy mahogany with an of white head. I smell corn silage from my Grandparents farm. I guess I know why the cows dig this shit so much. Quite sweet with some raisin conotations in the middle. Not the best dubbel I have had...kinda reminds me of the Lake Placid Dubbel Bogey. DYCSoccer17 (2012), Davis, California, USA May 13, 2004 Aroma is sweet and sugary. Kind of strong. Pours a hazy mahogany with an off-white head. Start is VERY sweet and VERY MALTY. I mena it’s decent, but nothing extraordinary. I reckon im going to give it a -1 point for appearance due to the trailer park label. Duke (117), New York, USA Mar 11, 2004 Updated: Jul 7, 2004Not impressed. Pours dirty iced tea. NO head. Some pleasant aromas fruity/malt maybe some chocolate coffee. Finish is sticky and flat.
