Aug 27, 2009 Updated: Aug 30, 2009Bottle, 22oz. A clear, dark ruby beer with a dense, two-finger head lasting for a long time, and leaving nice lacings. A bit sourish on the nose, with dried fruits and caramel doing most of the work. Sweet, caramel flavor with hints of sourness, berries, some spices, chocolate and coffee, and a little hint of licorice. Full-bodied, and maybe a bit too effervescent. Sweet, spiced finish. Anyway, it’s sure a world class dubbel, complex and well-tasting. 090619

Aug 26, 2009 Tasting at TAR’s. Pours a clear dark brown with a small head. Quite sweet with a very light bitterness. Some aromas of Belgians yeast. Also (too) strong aromas of star anis. Medium to full bodied. Lively carbonation. Too spicy; unbalanced towards the spices.

Aug 3, 2009 Initial aroma of heavy chocolate malt and a caramelized sugar undertow. Also present is a melancholy alcohol and stingy spice; cardamon allspice. Color is dark with a voluminous tan head. Upon pouring, the spices come on full bore. Taste is bubbly and sweet with a hint of coffee at the end.

Jul 26, 2009 Beautiful pour, very dark cola with a gorgeous effervescent tan head. Allspice, caramel, huge malt, port-like aroma. Sweet, chocolate with raisin, pepper, and just a bit of warm alcohol. Enough carbonation to keep it from being heavy and cloying. Just a super beer.
