Dec 16, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma was sweet and spicy with notes of licorice and fruits. The alcohol showed through somewhat prominently on the nose. The flavor was dark malts, molasses, ripe fruits, dry chocolate and a touch of wood and smoke. The finish was medium length and was dry with a touch of licorice. Nice.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Travis from Dunedin Brewing. Pours a clear amber brown with a one finger offwhite head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of spicy yeast, caramel, and light fruit. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and a spicy yeasty finish. Very good.

Nov 21, 2008 This one poured dark, dark brown with a light mahogany hue around the edges. The head was big initially but fades quickly to a small ring and leaves minimal lacing.
The aroma is very sweet with dark fruits, figs and grapes, brown sugar and hints of sweet chocolate. The Belgian yeast is present as well with a bit of nuts and caramel malts.
The taste is also sweet, with caramel malts and chocolate. There is some candi sugar and dark fruits really showing out as well. Licorice and a hint of roasted coffee round things out.
The mouthfeel is very smooth with minimal carbonation which goes down very nicely.
There is nothing too distinctive about this one - it’s just an easy-drinking Belgian dark that has held up pretty well over the last 2+ years.

Nov 21, 2008 Another big thanks to Travis (Dunedin Brewery) for this bottle.
Pours copper, with beige head.
Aroma is fruity, notes of vanilla and dark fruits (cherry) malts.
Taste was amazingly nice, well aged.
A lot more complex than the vertical ’05.
Loads of nice dark fruits (cherry / prune) and sweet candi sugar.

Oct 21, 2008 Rating #1800 here....A dark brown apperance with a tan head. The aroma contains chocolate, raisins, bananas, licorice, and coffee. The flavor consists of chocolate, licorice, raisins, cloves, and coffee. An interesting twist on a dubbel certainly more on the stout side with a mix of hefe in there. The finish is a little bit boozy and sweet. The bitterness lingers. A very different and nice beer. One of my favorite Stone verticals!
