Dark brown with tan head. Baby food fruit, pear and raisin bread aroma. Flavor has little match to aroma. Fairly simple malt, carmel and coffee flavor with a slight bitter finish. Fairly strong carbonation.

Brown, huge tan head. Aroma has nice banana, fig, prune combo. Yeast-bready character in the background. Flavor much the same, banana and fig. Toasty-bready, biscuity malt. Finishes with some light grape. Body is very thin at times, 3 is a stretch. Countless bottles of this, hoping for that mindblowing bottle, just don’t think it is going to happen.

Hazy dark brown pour with a tan head. Looks good! Apples and fruit on the nose with some graininess. Bitter sweet flavor with a hint of fruit and hops to finish. Overall a good dubbel.

Wonderfully caramel flavor with a lingering rasiny/spicey finish. How can you bash one of the cornerstones of the style?

Bottle. Red-brown color with creamy head. Flavor is fruity at the beginning and aftertaste is long and bitter. Good beer.

Pours a very dark amber color. appears pretty hazy also. Smell is quite dry with a good fruity pear presence, some alcohol, and malt even makes an appearance. Taste is malty with a very effervescent quality, a strong fruit content that follows with the pear aftertaste and also a good sweet caramel flavor. Fairly quick finish, that makes you want to drink more the second it makes its way to your stomach.
