Syd (807), Waconia, Minnesota, USA Mar 29, 2008 Bottle pours a much hazed garnet color with a monster head that does not adhere to the sides (no lace – go figure) - (OK, as it warms it laces well). The aroma is of caramel, spice, and yeast. As it warms it puts out a bit of a funky cheese note. Also, more coriander seems to push through. The flavor is rich with lots of deep and sweet caramel and plums, dark fruits, yeast, and coriander. At higher temperatures there is more complex earthiness – sort of like ripe cheese in the finish. The palate is rich yet cleansing with infinite bubbles. Overall, this works very well as an Abbey Dubbel. This beer is a delight. It is very well made and provided me with immeasurable joy. The Danes rock. Skål!

ap:pours dark brown, some floaties, small yellow/lighty brown head.
strong fruity, raisins , dark fruits aroma, some alc or rather oomph power to it. butter-roasted white bread.
palate is too bubbly for me, bubble-up-in-my-mouth-feeling. [after waiting 10mins palate got real good]
flavor is good. caramel, sweet dark fruits, candi sugar. ends in some kind of alc and spices bitterness that also isn’t THAT good. After i let it warm up and settle a white, it got loads better. don’t serve below 12celcius. you’ll need a well tempered bottle to do a fair rating.

Bottle: The aroma consists of fruit, caramel, banana, raisin, and slight vinous notes. It pours a cloudy orangish-red with lots of sediment and a half-inch off white head. The flavor starts moderately fruity with banana and yeast. There is some faint candi sugar in the middle. The finish is lightly vinous with some light-moderate raisin and a touch of alcohol. It’s medium bodied with lively carbonation that initially comes across a tad prickly at times. However, after sitting for 10 minutes, the carbonation really softens. bp (356), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 17, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy orangish-brown with a thin white head, aroma of yeast, sweet caramel and dark fruits, taste is sweet but dry, plenty of dark fruit flavor, spices, very carbonated, a bit of the alcohol in the finish, very nice job with this one. MatSciGuy (390), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 11, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a hazy, chunky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is slight, with a little tart fruity yeast. Flavor is raisins, malt, yeast, caramel, and alcohol. Sharpness in the flavor adds a bit of dimension.
