Pours a dark murky brown body beneath the frothy tan head which dissolves to leave a thin lacing.

Aromas of Belgian yeasts and brown sugar float from the glass with hints of caramel malt and toffee.

The flavor also features brown sugar, malt, and toffee but also has just a hint of spice and perhaps some sweet nuttiness.

Lighter to medium in body with fair carbonation.

A very nice example of the style with plenty to offer the senses.

I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. This is my third attempt at this beer in several years. Beautiful beer, pours a wonderful dark mahogany color and has an awesome dark tan head. Fine bubbles great lacing . Roasted nutty smell richly bleeds out of the glass. And then I tasted it. Same as all the other times. Sour Sour Sour. Yuk. Last time I ever buy this. I guess some people like sour beer.

11.2 oz bottle was poured into a goblet.

Appearance: This beer poured a one finger head that reduced to a puffy off brown layer. It is a dark brown color with no clarity or bubbles coming up through the glass. Looks very traditional for a dubbel.

Smell: Spicy, caramel, toffee, raisins, bananas, chocolate, and toasted malts.

Taste: Same as above. Extremely delicious and balanced.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, full bodied, medium carbonation, a little chewy, and a little dry.

Overall: Goto love those Belgian dubbels. Will look for more of this in the future.

Such a delicious, smooth, well balanced beer. Can't tell it's a 7.5% at all. Goes down way too easily. Nice hints of fig, grape, but not too sweet. Just a hint of breadiness. Lots of complex flavors, but the basic point is this beer is so well balanced, smooth, tasty, not too heavy in alcohol. Very strong offerring in an extremely competitive field.
