Aug 20, 2008 On tap at Stone 12th, but I’ve tried this many times over the years. After learning about red beers, then Chimay red, I stumbled upon this and I like it better than Chimay Red. My standards are narrower now, but at one time this was one of my favorite beers. Tasting this after such a long delay, reminds me of why I liked it: Lots and lots of sweet long boil melanoidins and caramelization. I see this flavor also in many IPAs and a few English beers. I like it. Much better than Ommegedon yuckiness.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from Plano Beverage in Plano, TX.
Pours an orange/red with beige head. Nice floral ,spicey, malty aroma aroma. Flavor is medium sweet, nice caramel, black licorice notes, spicy hops. Palate is medium mouth feel with champaign like qualities, carbonation wise. Over all, I enjoyed this.

Aug 14, 2008 Very nice in appearance with a full tan head and the romantic reddish /brown color. Traditional smell of Dubbel including, caramel, malt and sweet candy. Complex enough to complement the yeast strains. Very well done.

Murky brown with a thick tan head.Smells like rasins, spices, and alcohol. Very sweet and not very strong.Heavy on the sweet dark fruits and alcohol in the beginning. Has a slightly bitter and warm alcohol finish.Kind of slick in the mouth with high carbonation.Overall it is a gteat beer.
