Feb 3, 2008 A toast to the 2008 Super bowl Champs, New York Giants. Another toast to the New England Patriots for making my football season entertaining considering my hometown team (Chicago Bears) really scerewed the pooch. Anyways this was my Superbowl finale beer. Sweet smelling beer, very thick foamy head, first taste hads a lot of fruity sweetness. As I drink this one further, I have a hard time wanting to drink it too fast as it is so damn sweet. I nice novelty beer to add to your ratings, but please don’t go too far out of your way to obtain.

Feb 3, 2008 On tap at Stone 2/1/08. Deep mahogony with aroma of dark fruits and sweet malts. Flavor is roasted malt with a crap load of sweet fruits, sugar and beligian yeast character. Enjoyable but not really by style.

Feb 1, 2008 Bottle. This is the 4th bottle I’ve had so far apparently I get lazy with my notes. Pours a dark brown with a large nearly white head. Aroma is still on the sweeter side with lots of dark fruits. Flavor is malty and caramel and sweet with some yeastiness, raisin, plum, and unidentified fruitiness. Finish is dry and spicy and moderately bitter and earthy. I remember it being more alcoholic when fresh for some reason, as it sits now there is a light warmth. I got more, I’ll try it again in a year.

Jan 31, 2008 A bit musty, rich aroma. Brown color. Raisin note, nutty, richness, light toast with hazelnuts. Moderate palate. Not bad. I’m not sure if it will improve with aging; I’d drink now.

Jan 19, 2008 22oz bomber-A black body with a nice tight tan head and an aroma of malt, hops, belgian yeast, caramel, and toffee. Taste of this full bodied brew is of the same with some alcohol and roasted malt coming in towards the middle and lasting to the end. A great tasting brew.

Jan 16, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Nuffield] Pours dark brown with a small light tan head. Aroma is sweet, malty nose with some yeast. Taste is roasted malt, a lot of yeast, and something else that I couldn’t identify. Medium mouthfeel. Definitely not one of my favorite dubbels.

Jan 15, 2008 MN RB winter gathering bottle from Nuffield. Sweet and dusty aroma. Raisins, caramel, toffee and dry dirty yeast. Pours rich brown with a thin white head. Big yeast element in the flavor. Quite earthy. Musty wood. Sweeter malt. Lively carbonation finishing with some hot alcohol notes.
