Pours a hazy brown with a decent sided tan head. Aroma is candi sugars, belgian yeasts, spices, dark fruits, alcohol, molasses and rasins. Flavor is rasins, candi sugar, yeasts, spices and a bit of alcohol. More full bodied than the 6 and more flavorful as well. Decent Dubbel.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle, 33cl. Pours dense brown, with compact tan head that endures. Aroma of sweet dark fruits, and similar with caramel, chocolate and candy on the palate. Great warming mouthfeel, with perfectly blended alcohol. A great ale.

Dec 6, 2009 Very pleasant winter day beverage. The finish is somewhat at odds with the initial taste. I felt like it lingered, but not as long as I would like. Someone mentioned astringent... I felt that. Overall a delicious beverage with nice fruit, wood, and spice characters, but none of which are over done. Well done.

Nov 29, 2009 Served at about 56F, maybe a little too warm. Poured a great deep hazy brown like the label states. Smelled sweet of raisins or plums, as well as malt and a hint of alcohol. Perhaps some chocolate. Taste reflects the smell to a tee w/o the chocolate. Mouthful is creamy with some carbonation. Great brew.

Nov 27, 2009 Pour a murky brown with big white head. Sweet aroma with notes of yeast, fruit, light notes of alcohol. Flavor comes across heavy on bread, maybe a little banana, light spice. Very nice brew.

Nov 26, 2009 bottle bb12/26/12 consumed 9/20/09.
pours out about 50% foam on top of a sea monkey-like yeast community in a bath of reddish brown.... lots of yeast, over carbonation, foamy lacing.
smells vinous.... over ripe plums (without tartness) and grapes mixed with chocolate, malt powder, vanilla, spice and flowers.
some banana-like esters show up in the flavor and are met with vanilla, chocolate, spices, caramelized brown sugar and pancake batter with a dry slightly acidic finish. the alcohol is definitely noticeable... wasn’t expecting it though.
the body is medium but thickens a bit when the yeast sludge gets mixed in toward the bottom of the glass. carbonation is high, prickly and a bit awkwardly sudsy...odd. need a rerate 7/4/7/2/14/3.5

Nov 23, 2009 Dark brown with a foamy thick and lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee, some malts, a bit like a good walk through a beatiful autumn forest. Very delicate complex taste, desireably sweet and spicy. Medium carbonation. Long bittersweet finish. Delicious beer.
