Doughy yeast, round, brown malt aroma with some light hints of bubblegum. Clear burnished copper body is topped by low, tan, large-bubbled head that recedes to a very tin cover with some lace. Plenty of chunky yeast/protein in suspension. Sweet malt flavour with some hints of oranges and light spiciness (pepper, clove) in the finish. Mild tea-like tannins. Light body with strong carbonation. Somewhat thin in the mouth. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temp. Bottle (Bello Vino, Ann Arbor, MI, Jul-05).

Aug 16, 2008 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!!!!!

Jul 13, 2008 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.

Jul 11, 2008 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.

Jun 28, 2008 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.
