Feb 4, 2008 On tap at Hudson’s in Plover, WI. Pours a clear, deep amber with long-lasting meringue head. Good lacing. Aroma is moderately nutty & spicy. First taste is nutty maltiness with a dash of vanilla. Some fruitiness follows with a surprising spiciness in the finish. Medium mouthfeel but excellent carbonation from a tapper. Never got to try it from a bottle but would definitely ask for it again on tap. Very good.

Jan 20, 2008 A tad unexciting for the gene, but altogether drinkably smooth. The nose is rather unassuming, with a bit of nuttiness and brown sugar. The palate is a lightly sweet base with a touch of winter spices. Nothing to get overly excited about.

Jan 9, 2008 Clear dark reddish brown with a better than average, frothy white head. Slightly malty aroma with a bit of yeast and a fruity spiciness. Flavor begins with some nutty malt and is followed by sweet fruit and a dry fruity, slightly peppery finish.

Dec 30, 2007 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. This ale poured a clear red-brown with a small, fully diminishing tan head. Strong hops aroma with hints of yeast and caramel. Watery, semi-sweet mouthfeel gives way to a tart nuttiness. The style listed here is misleading. It does not seem to be much of a Dubbel in that it isn’t bottle conditioned, cloudy brown, or malty.

Dec 30, 2007 Bottle and served in my NB worthy glass: Pours a mahogany hue with a fading frothy head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of roasted, bready, rye, and caramel malt along with some wheat esters, slight banana and hazelnut, some Belgium candy sugar, and a note of lacto. The taste is roasty malt and wheat at first followed by a mild note of syrupy fruit. The finish displays a note of ashy smoke, nut, and a faint sourness. The mouth feel is soft and astringent, thin to medium-bodied. An okay beer but a bit confusing for is it a Dunkelweizen or something closer to an Dubbel?

Dec 28, 2007 Having drank Point Special for a while, this more or less tastes like a Point Special with holiday spices added. They need to take a note from Central Waters and do more experimenting!

Dec 27, 2007 Slightly spicy aroma. Flavor of roasted malt, sweet bread spices. Very watery mouthfeel, overall seems a little artificial.
