Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-brown color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was sweet date, raising, toffee, cherry, spice and brown sugar. The flavor was tangy, sweet and a bit tart with strong notes of fig, raisin, date and caramel and undertones of molasses and pepper. The finish was long with sour fruits and caramel. Intense flavor. Thick and full body though a bit boozy. Interesting.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sweetness with some dates? brown sugar? Flavor is very sweet with lots of dough and spice. A heavy swallow is followed by some dark fruit and anise. This brewer does weird things and they work in small samples.

On tap. Clear orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of dried and overripe fruit and Belgian yeast. Rather full body, dried fruit and perhaps a little yeast. Fairly alcoholic finish with a discreet bitterness. Doppelbock?? 120709

Bottle. Rich caramel beer with a tan head. Fruity, earthy, caramel aroma. Caramel/toffee flavor with earth, dark fruits/date, and alcohol. Medium bodied. Brown sugar/caramel/toffee lingers with dark fruit.

22oz bomber. Fruity malt aroma. Patchy, soapy head. Amber-brown color. Slight warm on the palate, some dark fruity bitterness as well. A tad thick and syrupy. Dopple and Dubbel is an awkward combination, and the sweet date syrup adds to the mess. Sweet, sugary finish. OK at best.

Pours light mahogany into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sweet pit fruit aromas. Thick and creamy - interesting mix of doppelbock and dubbel. Sweet dark dates, pit fruits and caramels. A little hot in the yeasty finish.

From tap at Jupiter. Pours clear and deep amber to brown, golden, with a small tan head. Roasted malt and classic complex Belgian yeast aroma. Fruity yeasty and roasted malt, smooth and yet very complex on the fruity yeasty notes. Ends dry and slight phenolic yeasty.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House. Pours clear deep amber with tan head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a boat load of dates smashed up with date skin baking in the sun. The taste is full and bold with thick crusty earthiness and huge date sweetness pushing me right out of my chair. It ends very sweet and date-ee with mild roasted malts swimming around deep in the background.
