Jul 18, 2009 Bottle at the July Houston tasting, courtesy of TexasJeep. Thanks! Pours a decent black with a thin body and a slight head of cream brown. Aroma is chalky chocolate, more similar to a porter than a dubbel. Hints of spice and coffee in there as well. Flavor is a hybrid of coffee, chocoate, smoked malt, and a touch of floral hops in the finish. Nice mouthfeel; leaves a tickly film on the tongue. Pretty good for a mislabeled beer.

Jul 4, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a dark reddish amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of spices, roasted malt and dark fruit. Taste is semi sweet over ripe fruit, caramel malt and spices. Has a nicely balanced flavor with a semi sweet finish.

does not count  May 23, 2009 Classic Double. Had a sample out of my cellar after nearly three years of waiting. Cant’ really tell it’s been aged aside from the hop taste being gone now. Look forward to another sample in a few years.

May 1, 2009 I finally get to try the beer thats on my birthday! Someone was so generous to share this with me on DLD this year. This poured a lighter brown color with an off white head. Aroma was lighter than I expected. It mainly consisted of some candy sdugar spices, and light malts. Flavor was very full of fruits, some sweet candy sugar and a hint of roastedness as well. This was pretty good stuff, especially at 3 years old.

May 1, 2009 Not my fave stone beer. Poured a nice ruby color, but no great head. Hops mixed too strongly with sweet belgian flavors of fruity and gamey yeast.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle shared by durhambeer. Thanks Bob! I remember having the fresh when it came out back in ’06, hard to believe its been almost 3 years since then. About the time I joined this site...anyway, this baby is past its prime as dubbels will get after 3 years in my experience. Oxidation is evident throughout the nose and flavor, some sweet, dark malts, raisins, rust, spices. Just not my cup of tea, may be great for others.

Apr 7, 2009 Shared by durhambeer. Thanks Bob. Pours a dark black with ruby edges. Head is one finger creamy and mocha. Nose shows some oxidation, some caramel, raisiny, mildly fruity, rusty Dubbel feel. Flavor is sweet, shows some caramel, rusty dark wheat flavor. Interesting enough but not awesome, would like to have tried it fresh.
