Part of the 02 thru 06 vertical at YourDarkLord’s house.This bottle was my contribution to the vertical. Pours dark brown with some copper highlights. Aroma reminds me of a weizenbock, wheaty, sweet, and estery. Initial flavor of dark wheat malt, brown sugar, raisens, and a hint of peat. Caramel and yeast come through the middle. The finish is dry with a medium bitterness.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of fruit, spices, and slight roast. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and fruit. Great beer.

Pours a deep dark amber bordering on brown. Nose is complex with the cloves and dark fruit belting out a delightful song. Very tasty with lots of flavors that are clearly defined. This is a beer that you hate it when the glass is empty.

Pours a dark dark brown appearance; light tan head that quickly fades. Pleasant aroma, showing candy sugar, bready / yeasty qualities, and spice. Huge presence in the mouth: plenty of yeast and spice, a solid malt backbone (roasted malts and maple syrup), some marshmallow / vanilla. Finish shows bread, spice and some floral bitterness. This should settle down nicely with a bit of age...

Nose of sweet caramel and dark malts. Almost black, minimal vanishing tan head, crystal clear, no lace. Taste is more of a stout than an Abbey Dubbel ... with strong flavors of chocolate and licorice and dried fruit and coffee and dark malts ... but the hopping is more interesting than a stout and the yeast is Belgian. Enjoyable.

Deep reddish colour with a small light brown head. Malty, fruity sweet aroma with a light yeasty note. Malty, light tart fruity flavor with some yeasty notes. Light dry and sweet finish.
