Jun 4, 2008 Dark copper/maroon, cloudy and opaque with a generaous head that had excellent retention and nice lacing. Malts and dark fruits evident on the nose, as well as some brown sugar. Flavors of dark fruits - figs and cherries, some cloves and spices, and caramelized sugar, like "grandma’s candy dish". Very soft on the palate, lively carbonation, and a smooth, dry finish.

Jun 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008A dark red-brown beer with a small whitish head that doesn’t stick around. Aroma is dark fruit and toasty malt notes. The flavor is dominated by roast barley, with some hints of oak and prune, fig, raisin and sweetness. Perhaps some toffee and molasses. Very carbonated mouthfeel.

Jun 3, 2008 The beer pours a hazy red brown color with a fine lightly brown head. The nose is a sweet mix of berries, yeast oak and malts. The taste is a sweetness mixed with alcohol dark fruits, wood, sweet berries. The mouth feel is very prickly due to the high carbonation the finish is a thick feeling in the sides of the mouth mixed with sweetness that is long-lasting.

Jun 1, 2008 Updated: Jun 2, 2008Thanks to jrob 21 for this 750. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a thick beige head. The aroma was fruit, alcohol, metallic and yeast notes. The taste was dominated by a nice fruity body with a surprisingly bitter aspect. There is a ton of yeast and some toffee, malts. Quite good, a brewery I really enjoy.

May 29, 2008 Love getting around to beers I’ve had quite a few times but not gotten my lazy ass to rate. Light brown w/ large head. Aroma of dark fruit and belgian yeast. Textbook taste for a dubbel. Dark fruit, light caramel sweetness and sharp belgian yeast with a slightly dry and lighly bitter finish. Love it. One of the best values around for a 750ml. Fantastic and versatile beer for pairing with food.
