Dec 17, 2007 Not the greatest Belgian Strong Ive had. A brown apperance with a red tint. Some dark fruits and chocolate appear in the aroma. The flavor is quite sour with some grapes, milk chocolate, lemons, and caramel. This beer seems confused as to what it wants to be. Riddle me this, how is this a Belgian?

Dec 15, 2007 Transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing ring of off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet doughy malts with a touch of clove and earthy spices. Starts a little thinner with some earthy doughy yeasty notes and mild sweetness with a drier slightly toasty finish. An interesting Belgian strong, but could use a little more body and sweetness.

Nov 11, 2007 An uncomplicated American Dubbel, but very smooth and enjoyable. There is some bitterness there, but it has to be coaxed out by holding and slowly swishing the beer around in your mouth. A good, solid brew.

Oct 24, 2007 Bottle... Clear ruby ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Good retention. The aroma is of a sweet, Brooklyn, NY chocolate egg cream; Hershey’s syrup with a touch of lactic acid. Chocolaty, Belgian dubbel flavor. No European yeast complexity, but a nice, malty experience nonetheless. Hints of dark raisins and lactic acidity. Full-bodied and lightly oily with medium carbonation. Gently bitter, mineral, dry finish. Bottle provided by growler. Thanks Scott!
