Jul 12, 2008 Pours a nice burgundy cloudy color with a light brown head. Mild aroma of sweetness and hints of berries. Creamy texture with sweet flavor. Fruity with rich maltiness. Notable alcohol presence. Tasty dubbel.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle Pours out a dark copper topped with a nice off white head. Aroma of pit fruit all over this one. Tast more of the sweet fruit. Along with some yeast.

Jul 9, 2008 Pours a deep caramel color with a full head. Smells of dark fruit, perhaps plum and has a strong licorice taste. Been a while since I have had this style and remember why I enjoy it. Chewy feel and a nice finish.

Jul 8, 2008 750ml bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours dark brown with a slight ruby hue. A big beige head with good carbonation left great lacing. Tons of sweetened dark fruits on the nose with some Belgian yeast and light hops. A fairly sweet finish with (again) some Belgian yeast, another great one from Ommegang.

Jul 8, 2008 750 mL bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Reddish brown with a medium frothy head. Very fruity aroma... dates, banana, brown sugar. Anise comes through strongly in the taste, with some malty sweetness and fruitiness. Interesting, but this anise is a bit too strong for my taste.

Jul 7, 2008 This is complex. Its fruity, but I could not quite pin down the fruit. Definitely some fig, date, plum kind of stuff going on, but I could swear I sensed some pear. Nice finish with a little fig aftertaste, but not sweet. Their is no discernible alcohol flavor in this higher gravity brew.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Dark copper pour with generous pillowy off-white head. Very sweet smell- malt, caramel, burnt sugar, cotton candy, and dates. A hint of sour wood on the nose, and also sometimes metallic notes. I swear this beer alternated between a few different distinct smells every third time I sniffed it, and occasionally the smell hit me as unpleasant. Similar on the palate. Sometimes it hit right, but sometimes it just felt too sweet or metallic. Haven’t had a double in awhile, and I know they’re not typically very yeasty, but I just kept wanting something to funk it up just a bit. A very nice beer, though.
