Bottle sample at a tasting at LiBira Pub in Haifa. Thanks Ariel. Clear reddish brown. Aroma of caramel, some dark fruits, a bit of cardboard hints and a faint hints of smoke. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, some dark fruits and light oxidized hints. Medium-bodied. Not great.

At a tasting, thanks Ariel, almost no head, clear brown to very deep red colour, aroma of burned sugar, dates, flavour of burned sugar and cardboared. Boring, simple and quite bad.

Smells alright. Smells yeasty with a little clove and some florals. Kind of more like a tripel than a double, at least in initial smell. The beer pours dark amber. Has some astringency at the end. A little too fizzy as well. The palate is light - the carbonation takes away from the taste. If you shook it up a little more, it might drink better.

Received in trade from mdaschaf, thanks for the opportunity! Pours a deep reddish brown color with a smallish off white head that dissipates all to quickly. Smells of brown sugar and sweet fruity malt mostly. Raisins and prunes with a fair amount of caramelized sugars and hints of spicy yeasty esters. Taste is sweet and fruity up front with dark caramelized sugars coming next. Yeasty funk finishes as well a a lingering burnt sugar sweetness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Not bad for an American interpretation of a dubbel. I enjoyed this one.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Fredericksburg, VA. Pours a hazy rusty brown color with a thin tan head that fades quickly. Aroma of raisin, toffee and treacle notes. The taste is toffee, raisin, brown sugar, faint hops. On the sweet side. Medium bodied.

from a bottle. fairly dark yellowish brown. very little head. smell is sweet and clean. on the palate it lacks the civility of areal old country dubbel stronger taste impressions. not as well balanced as i expected. barely any co2 but is creamy with what exists. fairly rude finish.

Clear purple ruby red beer, small off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: some smoke, mocha, sour red fruits, lactobacillus. MF: light carbon, medium body. Taste: some sour red fruits, bit of malts, bitter grapefruit, lots of alcohol. Aftertaste: sour red fruits, rotten fruits, banana. Maybe I'm picky as a Belgian, but this isn't anything like a Belgian Dubbel. Sorry guys.
