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.

Jan 15, 2008 Dark brown coloration, cocoa-tan head.
Spicy, malty nose, with flavors of dark fruits, anise, herbs, rather earthy...
Tangy and tasty, gritty, and lightly sweet, medium bodied, holds together well, but no particular part pops out at all...fairly unimpressive by the end of the sampling. Just kind of ""eh", like a limpid stab at a dubbel.
(I got half the bottle, shared the rest with friends, who were more nonplussed than I.)
Perhaps I really didn’t to give that extra six years they reccommend on the label copy?

Jan 15, 2008 MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, supplied by Nuffield, thanks! Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt and some light sweet hints with a lot of alcohol too. Taste wasn’t the best. Roasted malt followed up with a medicinal quality. There was some molasses, raisin, and brown sugar in there too, but not enough to counter the alcohol.

Jan 14, 2008 Sampled at MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering in Maplewood, MN and supplied by Nuffield. From a 22-oz bottle pours a semi-hazy dark brownish amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates clean. Aroma of roasted dark malt, some fruity character with additional scents of herbal spice, dark pitted fruit and a little chocolate. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of dark chocolate, ripe dark pitted fruit with some cotton candy. Finish is smooth, creamy with a chocolate and caramel aftertaste. Aging has done this beer some good.

Jan 13, 2008 MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 12, 2008. Super thanks to Nuffield for bringing this one. Dark brown color with no head. Wonderful aroma of candi and brown sugar with sweet, dark malt. Taste is mostly a rich, sweet malt. A little oaky with some Noble hop. Very interesting.
