Great nose, chocolate covered cherries, raisins, and prunes. Quite tasty, chocolate, dark fruit, lots of candy sugars. Richly sweet in the finish, leaves a nice aftertaste hanging about. Almost enough to make me rethink my less-than-spectacular opinion of dubbels. Osmin99 (121), Bloomington, Indiana, USA

Very complex taste as I expected with a very, very smooth finish. I poured the entire contents into my brandy glass and was surprised at how much the yeast at the bottom resembled tobacco bits. I pledge to have this on tap at least once in my lifetime. SchlossyMcSaus (75), San Marcos, California, USA

A slightly bitter finish fades to toasty goodness and seems to round out well overall. Definitely one to revisit and try variously aged versions. shoestring (187), larkhall, Scotland

Rich and fruity. Complex, full mouthfeel. Caramel/berries/malty biscuits are all in there. Surprised so many on here say that alcohol is well hidden. I thought that it was well obvious. Thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely not a session brew, but - duh! - guess you know that. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany

You taste alcohol and spicy peppery malt. Kicks on the tongue and has a long lasting finish. Nice...! madsberg (5072), Søborg, Denmark

Flavour is balanced and a little dry. Good long aftertaste with some bitterness. A very pleasant acquaintance. GermanBrews76 (667), Eugene, Oregon, USA

This beer covers a wide spectrum of taste and delivers with deep complexity. silky smooth The sweet floral notes fade into a nuttiness, followed by a tasty toasty finish. It left me wanting three or four more chances to rate it right away, just to try and spit out everything that happens.
