Apr 6, 2008 Deep brown with flashes of red and a small head. Aromas of spicy fruits, bananas and yeast come through pretty strong. Soft malty base with a sugary sweetness and a complex fruit flavor. Quick, clean, roasted finish leaves a good taste behind. Seems to be slightly thin and more fizzy than usual for a dubbel, otherwise really good

Apr 4, 2008 tap at the brewery - Pours amber with an average head. It has a mild malt aroma with plenty of yeast. The malt flavor has mild caramel along with light hops and some yeastiness. I got a hint of spice as well. Lively on the palate and medium bodied, this dubbel is mild for the style and easy drinking.

Mar 29, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Lightly hazed auburn brown pour, glowing orange around the edge. Basic banana, chocolate, clove and hazelnut aroma; clean and precise. Flavor of honey, hazelnut, maple, overripe banana, and clove; pear skins with some dryness in the midpalate. Pretty sugary altogether; not too deep, but not too dull. Grainy, rock candy and grain mouthfeel; drying, acidic fruit finish. An understated, unmemorable example; does nothing too wrong or right.

Mar 28, 2008 Pours a finger and a half head that has a lacing that sticks nicely. There is no doubt about the banana nose that only starts the complexity in the flavor of this beer. Very nice mouthfeel. Very nice look. Very nice beer. One of new belgiums best.

Mar 27, 2008 Aquired from lb4lb in a trade. Pours a dark clean amber with a small lasting head. Great robust aroma of fermented boozy fruits, spice & candied malts. Flavor is ripened fruits (bananna), spices (peppery), and rich malts. Wow! The aroma is so powerful (in a good way). Quite impressed with this one. Thanks Deniz.

Mar 21, 2008 Fruity banana nose with some spice. Deep amber to brownish in color and clear. Rich malt, intense cloves, good understated hops, nicely balanced. Full body, with complementary alcohol and carbonation coming through nicely. Very smooth, excellent finish. One of New Belgium’s best beers.

Mar 14, 2008 Draft at City Beer Store. Clear reddish brown, moderate head, some lacing. Aroma is sugary, somewhat yeasty, notes of darker fruit. I gotta be honest though, once I saw they had RR Beatification, I lost interest in this immediately.
