May 1, 2009 Bottle, pours a dark reddish brown color with a foamy off-white head. Some lacing along the side of the glass. A floral aroma with yeast and sweet malt. The flavor is quite nice with a mixture of spices, malt and yeast. I enjoyed this one.

Apr 22, 2009 Hazy mahogany, charming coloured ale wearing a light off-white head. Unexpectedly, this comes across as a very sweet and toasty ale. Very strong sugary leanings paired with cinnamon leanings and the obvious alcohol for 8% make it more of a dessert beer. Plum-pudding flavours, cake and soft, dispersed big bubbles only confirm the direction undertaken. Above it all, a fat french toast and banana yeastiness does not make into subtlety either. Not what I expected, but still alright for what it is. I just tend to prefer more attenuation.

Apr 11, 2009 12 ounce bottle poured into a goblet. Deep ruby brown color with a slightly fizzy tan head. Aroma of apples and bananas, maybe some pear too. Dark bread crusts and a metallic note. Flavor is sweetish but not as sweet as a typical dubbel. There’s a pronounced spicy earthiness that cuts through the expected dark fruits and dough. Body is a little thin for the style, carbonation is about right. A decent American attempt at the dubbel style.

Apr 7, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bottle Barn. Nose of rye bread, candi sugar, and caramelly sweetness. Hazy rust color with a big cinnamon head. Flavor is light sweetness, clovey and peppery spices, and a bit of alcohol. Pretty good stuff!

Apr 3, 2009 Ruby-brown pour, thin beige head with no retention or lacing. Aroma of brown sugar, tree fruit, and yeast. Flavours of caramel, roasted malt, and candy sugar with a long, reasonably dry finish. Mouthfeel is quite rich with moderate carbonation. Really nice.

Mar 17, 2009 I’ve had this quite a few times in the past, but never managed to rate it. Dark garnet pour with a thin light colored head. Toast, dark fruit, and candi sugar on the nose. Mouth-feel is really sharp. Sweet caramel and candi sugar up front with a slightly acidic dark cherry finish.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours dark brown with off white head that dissipates quickly. Woody aroma, taste is malty with dark fruit, chocolate, toasted sugar/molasses. Mouthfeel is prickly co2 with a chalky dry mineral finish. Full bodied and hearty. Liked it.
