Jun 17, 2002 Updated: Aug 18, 2005slightly hazy dark brown colour with a giant creamy head and a nice lacing; pleasant aroma of licorice with notes of ginger and cloves; solid malt body, some initial sweetness soon followed by a bitter/sour touch, very creamy mouthfeel; the finish shows more maltiness in form of licorice and gingerbread with a touch of warming alcohol - great beer !

Feb 22, 2003 Very dry, and slighty tawny. A foamy head that last for a short time, and a candy sugar note. I would like to try the triple

Dec 12, 2004 Dark clear amber colour with a nice creamy off white head. Aroma is promising; malty, dark fruits, caramel and chocolate. Lots of fruit and spices in the taste along with well balanced sweet malts and hops. Quite lively on the tongue, smooth with a tasty dry finish. Very good.

Jun 22, 2001 Very nice, with a mild yeast
effect that allowed the malt depth
to shine through. Interesting chocolatey
malty notes, coupled with mild spicy
yeast character. Rubyish brown color.
Nice head and lacing.

Apr 13, 2003 This one pours a dark, clear brown color with a lasting, medium sized off-white head. It has a malty aroma of cookie dough and molasses with some yeast, plum, and raison notes. The flavor is initially very sweet, with some banana and malt flavors. The finish is lingering and sweet, with a hint of chocolate. It has a very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Good dubbel.

Sep 3, 2001 Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Great head and nice, robust aroma. Relatively short palate though, which grants it low marks.

Appearance: deep, dark, chestnut brown, with a firm 3’4" earth-toned head.
Aroma: ripe and rich with nuts, cocoa, soft spices, and a strong brandyish feel.
Big fruit on the palate: raisins, figs, plums, port wine. Fierce and delicious hop attack on the tongue, full-bodied, big malt, nice balance. Very commanding, with rewarding flavors throughout.
Long, lasting, warm, rummy finish.
I’ll be back for more, you can be sure!
