Jul 30, 2007 Nice and dark with a thick viscosity that lets you know right away you’re in for an alcohol bomb. Nice complexity. Roasty, and a little smoky. If someone gave this to me and told me this was barrel aged, I’d probably believe them. Sometimes dubbels are a bit too sweet and thick in the mouth, this was not. Very tasty esters from the yeast - plum, dried fruits, a little fig and some moderate clove/phenolics. Very digestable. Nice dubbel. I think I’ll keep the other bottle for a few more years.

Jul 27, 2007 I haven’t been into the VE’s too much, but thought I would take one out of the cellar and what do you know, it’s damn good. Perfumey, spice aroma - reminds me of when I was macking on some girl’s neck at Christmas time when I was younger. The off white head reactivates nicely with a gentle swirl.. Color is a nice opaque brown/black with tints of orange. Taste is spicey, raisony- sweet with and orange peel-like, smokey bitterness. Yeastiness is present but is not overpowering. Very nice

Jul 24, 2007 Pours a deep brown with an off-white head. Aroma is a mix of alcohol, dark fruit, and spices. Taste is a great complex mix of malt, spice, hop, and dark fruit. A wonderful brew from Stone.

Jul 23, 2007 Dark brown with a decent, tan head. Aroma is spicy, licorice, and alcoholic. Medium-bodied with a creamy/foamy mouthfeel. Malty, sweet, roasty, and spicy. Hops are in the background, more obvious at the finish. Very tasty and complex.

Jul 22, 2007 22oz bottle, first of 2nd to be consumed, not really sure what to expect, but this one pours a nice dark brown, taste is of Raisins,plums and finishes with some spice, perhaps this is a good portrayal of the style, nice job stone, and my first attempt at a cellar aged brew.

Jul 11, 2007 Thin head which dissipates quickly. Light carbonation. Sweet and malty aroma with some raisins, port wine, spices and buttery toffee. Quite the enticing aroma. Color is a cloudy dark crimson brown. Very impressive when held up to a bright light. Sweet and malty with lots of dark fruit, more spices and a noticable alcohol kick. Some roastyness present also. Finishes oily and warming. A pretty darn good dubbel.

Jul 11, 2007 On tap at Stone. Dark brown with creamy tan head. Roasty aroma of spices and yeast. Slight over-ripe fruit taste, nutty, with a mild spiciness to the finish.

Jul 7, 2007 22oz. Bottle (THANKS glkaiser): Aroma is lightly sweet. Smells malty and vinous with hints of chocolate, Belgian yeast, roasting, dark fruits and some nuts. Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby and a medium-sizes tan head that diminished quickly. Opaque. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes of a lot of clove, as well as spices, coriander, roasted malts, dark fruits, a little chocolate and a hint of bitter hops. Medium body. Sticky, slightly watery texture. Lively carbonation. Dryish malt finish. Overall, not sure why everyone loves this so much, though Dubbels are really not my thing.
