Dec 1, 2008 Bottle from Sand Bar, Manchester. Muddy brown colour, hints of red at the edges, and a frothy tan head that lasts throughout. Aroma of rich fruits - dried fig and date, raisins and plum. Fruit predominates the flavour with molasses/muscovado added. Sour undertones complement the sweetness. Lightly carbonated and surprisingly light in palate. Lovely.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark brownish-red with light haze and frothy off-white head. Aroma is of black currant, belgian spices, yeast and other dark fruit. Taste is dark fruit with black currant, belgian spice, yeast and some candied sugar. Moderate carbonation and a slightly dry finish, it lacks a bit of complexity as it’s Trappist counterparts.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a very dark brown-red, almost pitch black. Has a medium creamy off-white head that leaves gobs of lacing. Aroma is dark fruits, with some spiciness and bread. Taste is much the same, with a focus on the dark fruits and bread. The finish is very dry and slightly bitter.

Nov 28, 2008 Celebrated a new job with a couple of these. Mmmmm. I love a good dubbel and to me this is one of the best. It pours a dark brown with a very nice head into a snifter. The aroma is nuts and fruit. The mouth is very full and a ton of wonderful, complex flavors float around at you. It can be specy at times, sweet at others, fruity but mostly balanced. I would say the body is slightly beyond medium. It has an outstanding finish that really sticks around.
