Poured from a 22oz bottle sealed with wax, how fancy. The cork came off disturbingly easy, but there was a reassuring "hiss" when it was opened. Pours a very nice, light new-penny copper that's very clear. A small head that fades with very little lacing. Smell is sweet, with some earthy malts and fruit and citrus scents. Taste is pretty decent. An almost burnt/smokey/earthy flavor lingers in the background, but otherwise it's fairly sweet with small amount of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is good, but a very dry aftertaste feel that leaves me wanting some water after each sip. Drinkability is high though, alcohol is very hidden, wouldn't guess this is 8%. A good brew, not sure I would get it again, but it was worth trying once.

Very nice foamy white head. Brew is crystal clear orange with light yellows. Not much in the way of lacing.

Elegent belgian scents; lots of banana, spices, and cloves.

Slight rubbing alcohol flavor beneath the deep belgian nuances. Very dry and slightly over carbonated. Mellows out a lot once brought to room temperature.

Another killer offering from SKA. A very nice and relaxing Dubbel, perfect for a hot summer day. Recommended, priced a bit high ($8), but still a very nice brew!

Pours golden in color. There is almost no head, what there is falls fast to a micro-ring. There are a few spots of micro-lacing.

It smells like circus peanuts. Banana, honey, and honeydew melon.

The flavor is really faint, the aroma barely carries over.

It has a lighter body with little carbonation.

Not sure what they were going for with this one. Not something that Id drain-pour, but I wouldn't order it again either.
