Jun 23, 2009 Tap at Toronado. Deep ruby brown, poured with basically no head. Big sweet aroma, cherries, dark fruit, banana bread, and wisps of nuttiness. Flavor really sweet, dark fruits, black cherries, spices/nuts for a slight banana bread flavor, also something vaguely cough syrupy behind all the sweetness. Could have used more balance to the sweetness for my taste.

Apr 27, 2009 Growler courtesy fogdog. Pours a dark brown with a small, bubbly tan head that leaves some patches of lacing behind. The aroma shows dark fruit, caramel, raisins, clove, and some spicy yeast as well. The flavor follows with the dark fruit and caramel coming through with figs, raisins, and orange zest. The yeast and spices are found on the backend. Medium bodied, smooth, and fairly easy to drink even with the alcohol. The dark fruits really come through on the finish. Solid dubbel from New Belgium.

Apr 19, 2009 CPLYFO 09. Growler from FogDog! Pours a nice clear dark amber with a nice lasting head. Aroma is sharp dark crystal special B malts, fruity, raisin, sharp almost burnt toffee, more fruits- apple, pear raisin with a nice phenolic yeastiness- yet still somewhat clean. Good full flavor without getting too harsh or estery- phenols are in check as well. good sweetness and a dark bready yeastiness, peppery spices, slight green and earthiness, with an orange- oiliness and zest as well as it warms.. Better than expected coming from NB, and for a Dubbel.

Apr 8, 2009 Had at otown throwdown. Really nice sweet caramel, not too sweet though. Candy sugar and fruit make up the taste. Pretty good.
