Mar 15, 2009 Thanks to my buddy Joe for the bomber. Pours a dark brown with a thick creamy tan head. Fruity apple, malty, Belgian yeast aroma. Smooth crisp malt taste with some hints of fruit, Belgian spice and yeast. Very good version of the style.

Mar 13, 2009 Bottle to Czech pils glass. Poured a clear, walnut color with ruby tones. The head was light tan, thick and foamy, with some good, clingy lacing. The aroma was malt with some ripe apple and spice notes. The flavor added to these some caramel, a tangy cider taste, and a touch of subtle dryness. A fine Dubbel.

Flavors of sweet malts up front, with more of the dark fruits, and caramel. Slight spice and a semi-bitter finish. Palate is medium bodied.

Mar 11, 2009 Aroma is sweet like molasses, with a slight fruitiness. Reddish brown with big light tan creamy head. Starts off sweet and ends with a bit of a sour aftertaste. Medium to heavy bodied, thick and average carbonation.

Mar 8, 2009 Beer poors dark with a nice off-white head. Belgian esters are apparent in aroma with a definate alchol presence. Flavor is complex with hints of light burnt sugar, fig, and raisin. Palate is a bit thin but nothing that detracts too heavily from the beer. Overall beer is nice, but not my first choice when purchasing in the style

Mar 6, 2009 Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar (Escondido, CA). Pours a great deep and dark burgundy into tulip glass with only about one finger of quickly disappearing beige head. Light aroma of dark fruit with only a bit of yeast.
Weaker yeast flavor than in most dubbels. Lighter mouthfeel and lower carbonation than most dubbels. Hints of fruit in the flavor, but the sweet maltiness mostly overpowers it. This could use a more hops. Quite smooth, but I think I actually like my dubbels more "rough" with more yeastiness, hops, and carbonation. Altogether I find this one a bit overrated, though the price is decent in the US.
