Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

Really good beer. Thick head on the pour, leaves a thick lace but its still opaque. Smells sweet and citrus fruity. Taste is almost of caramel and orange. Crisp mouth feel. Smooth finish. Its worth a try even at 5 bucks a beer.

I’d call the color mahogany/reddish. Brownish head. Nose is woody and spicy. Feels great on the tongue. Taste is complex, with hints of spiciness and fruit but well balanced with the malts. I really like this beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pour was nice as expected, 2 fingers of caramel cream head, deep dark red, almost black in some light, some lacing, head stays for the most part. Aroma overall is refreshing, not overpowering, strawberry shortcake with toffee bread, sweet caramel hard candy, maybe I’m a little nuts with that description but it was that good. Mouthfeel is pretty close to perfect as well, creamy and fluffy, in the middle it feels like almost nothing is in my mouth , then there is a minor bite right at the end. Sadly, the actual flavor is the weakest experience of this beer if you can say that, very sweet, malt dominated flavor, caramel toasted marshmallow maintains throughout. This beer was fantastic, though just maybe too onesided on the sweet side for me, but still... good stuff.

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown, with a tan, solid head. Aroma of fruits, spice, and roasted malt. Full body and heavy finish. Great dubbel.
