EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA May 23, 2008 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. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA May 23, 2008 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. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA May 22, 2008 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. BrotherJoe (12), Iowa, USA May 21, 2008 Wonderfully caramel flavor with a lingering rasiny/spicey finish. How can you bash one of the cornerstones of the style?
estpiwo (443), Estonia May 21, 2008 Bottle. Red-brown color with creamy head. Flavor is fruity at the beginning and aftertaste is long and bitter. Good beer. Todeon (314), Sweden May 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 18, 2008Bottle. Really big white head. Good carbonation and nose. Taste is fruity and spicey with raisins. gam (1059), brisbane, Australia May 18, 2008 Good bubbly head on plum/brown colour with good carbonatio.Aroma,fruit,citrus,dark fruit.Flavour,citrus hops bitter,figs,raisins,pink grapefruit,real bite to the tongue,bitter sweet.A cherry note,as well as ginger,not my style but it tastes like a beer should,so it,s fairly good. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA May 14, 2008 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.
