Bottle. Medium frothy ivory head that was mostly diminishing, fine-small sized bubbles, fair lacing, no visible carbonation, semi-transparent, and an orange brown hue. Malty, caramel and fruity aroma. Aromas were on the light side. Flavor was malty and caramel. Somewhat tingly mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer.

1.2 oz bottle ourchased at Spirits RB. Pours a horrible disgusting looking muddy brown with large pieces of green particles pieces that setteled to the bottom. Hey who the hell put green clay in my beer?? No head at all and a flat body. Aroma was slight sweetness, candi sugar, cotton candy and slight pancake syrup. Palate is flat water, no carbonation at all. Flavor is flat with only a slight touch of sweetness, more sugary then fruity, coming through. Wow was this horrible. You know those two guys that have that pod cast where you challenge them to chug things?? Well I’m gonna email them and challenge them to sip this in a snifter .5 oz at a time, two bottles!!!!!

Very clear, dark amber. Solid malt, slightly metallic. Sweet and bland. Mild, inoffensive, sessionable, Kwaky.

Very tasty. Medium head, pours light, murky brown. Slight aroma of dark roast and malts. Excellent balance of dark fruit and hop flavor. It is light for a dubbel, which is actually a pleasant surprise. There are certainly better dubbels, but this is worth a taste or two.

Dark garnet brown color with a medium to thin off-white head. Aroma is light toffee, a touch warming, notes of dark stone fruits. Mouth is very effervescent - like a creamy champagne. Flavors of raisins, figs, with hints of chocolate apparent, but vanish quick fast leaving a lightly sweet almost cherry-like flavor.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Nose is some raisins and figs and a light sourness. Taste sports none of the sourness of the nose but the raisin and figs. Tons of carbonation, too much probably but its very light. Almost to light for a dubbel. However its quite tasty and its hard to find any real faults with it.
