Dec 8, 2006 Now this is an American example of a dubbel ! Dark oak color with a tan head that lasts. Aroma of the dark fruits ( figs, raisins, dates) yeast. Taste of chocolate, yeast, raisins. The roasted malts leave a nice aftertaste. Excellent example.

Oct 24, 2006 I think Jerzdevl2000 brought this to my last party- thanks Pat. Pours a dark brown, lively carbonation and a thick head. Sweet fruity esters in the nose along with crystal and deep toasted malts, dried fruit, plums and raisin. Body is a bit light due to the carbonation, but otherswise a nice mouthfeel to allow you to taste all the sugary and fruity sweetness in there- caramel, prunes, brown sugar, sharp dark roasted crystal malts. Abv is apparent esp as it warms, but goes down pretty easy. Nice dubbel.

Sep 12, 2006 Updated: Feb 22, 2008Lots of dark fruit aromas on this one. Dates, Raisins, Molasses, Prunes. All coming off of a nice dark pour with huge fluffy tan head. Alcohol flavor from beginning to end. More dark fruits and sweetness. Somewhat of a porter type finish and of course, More alcohol. Very warming. Not bad.

Aug 31, 2006 Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a huge tan head. Smells of fruit (raisins, plums). Taste is very fruity also. As it warms the smell is more intense. The alchol is well hidden. Mouthfeel is smooth and silky

Aug 14, 2006 22oz - thanks ClarkVV - Aroma is pungent dark fruits like plum, date, prune and raisin all smoothered in chocolate. Can also sense some alcohol and yeast. Pours a beautiful deep brown/red with a small lasting thick head and great lacing. Flavor is a match to the aroma with a smooth malty finish. Palate is smooth and clean, almost creamy. This is a great brew to smell, look at, and consume. I wish I had lots more.

Jul 23, 2006 2003 Bottle (thanks Jeff): Pours lush and creamy garnet with an everlasting, tan head. Initially, the aroma notes sweet chocolate, raisans and plums. As it warms, a nice nuttiness with a touch of chocolate covered raisans emerges as well. The body is sligthly tart, with lots of dark chocolates and cherries. Chewy and full tasting, sticky but not overly sweet.
