Commercial Description:
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.

Bottle. Large fizzy tan head that was mostly lasting, fine-small sized bubbles, lacing was sparse, cloudy, carbonation, and a brown hue. Nose was malty, caramel, sweet, and alcohol. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, vinuous, and somewhat dry. Mouthfeel was dry, tingly and vinuous. Medium-full body. An outstanding BSA, very enjoyable and quaffable and the alcohol was not overdone IMO. Scrumptious! If you like this beer style, find it, buy it and enjoy every taste of it!

Pours a very deep maroon with voluminous head that quickly dissipates, yet never disappears entirely. Current bottle has been aged approximately 9 months since purchase, due to the over-whelming spiciness of this brew fresh. Aroma is still of heavy spice, of dark fruit, belgian funk, as well as faint cherry tartness and licorice. Taste is very deep and much more well-balanced than when fresh. The effervescent carbonation really helps to scrub the palate from the heavy dubbel taste, which makes it even more satisfying. This time around was much better than previous experiences. For people who are not fond of heavy spicing, I would definitely recommend aging it awhile to let some of that drop out.

Pours a deep red with thin beige head. Aroma of cherries and yeast, almost smells like a cognac. Malt and fruit to start, finishes with a flat kind of sourness which sticks around. Medium carbonation, leaves a bit of stickiness to it. Solid beer

The aroam is dark fruits, yeasty, slight alcohol. Very pleasing. Very attractive amber/chestnut color as well, persistent white head. The flavor is malty, fruity sweetness, caramel. A little spicyness is thrown in as well. Strong carbonation. The finish is clean, sweetness with a some spicyness on the palate. Excellent beer.
