Mar 30, 2007 Very dark brown color, thinnish tan head that went away quickly after an aggressive pour. Belgian yeast aroma with lemon, fig, a hint of coffee malt. Taste is similar with some very smooth malt, spicy, dry finish, some alcohol, almost no astringency but leaves the throat tingling nevertheless.

Feb 28, 2007 Sampled from BevMo. Pour was very nice, with a generous head in a Munchen glass. Pour is dark brown. Flavor is nice with a hefty amount of hops. Worth a try while its still around, and a good stone brew.

Feb 21, 2007 APPEARANCE: Dark brown to black with a tan head. AROMA: Fruity, phenolic yeast notes with dark malt roastiness. FLAVOR: Clove, smooth roasted malt, mild spiciness, and some hop bitterness. A dry finish with apparent alcohol. PALATE: Medium to full-bodied, good carbonation…no astringency. OVERALL: Very full and complex…not sure how it will develop.

Feb 18, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of roasted coffee, dark fruit, and spices. Flavor like a dubbel, but with porter elements. I think it will taste even better after aging.

Feb 18, 2007 Updated: Aug 14, 2008Rerate; bottle. Aroma of caramel, fruit, dark fruit, yeast and some brown sugar. Color was nice and dark. More drinkable than I remembered, but probably not as tasty overall. More alcohol presence than expected. In 4 years this probably won’t be very good in my opinion. Lowered 3.8 to 3.6
On my second rerate; I upped it from 3.6 to 3.7
(Dark brown, almost black; large creamy, tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, roasted malt, dark fruit. Smooth moutfeel, medium bodied. Roasted malt flavor, with some spice and dark fruit. Some throat warming. Could use some more age. Have another bottle, will hold for a while. )

Feb 15, 2007 Bottled after shuffling some snow.
Nice solid dubbel. Nice "light" malt flavor. all the way through. Alcohol was hidden rather well.

Feb 14, 2007 This beer came across somewhat green. I was disappointed because I went out of my way to get this. Has a sweetness to it that just hasn’t seemed to develop. I’m going to put my other bottles away and see what happens.
