A rich dark amber Belgian Dubbel brewed with additions of organic cocoa nibs and orange peels, then finally aged with Shiraz steeped oak staves. A festive, complex, and sessionable beer that tastes of bold dark fruits, hints of orange chocolate, and finishes with spicy oak undertones to a dry finish.

750ml bottle found in Parksville some months ago, brought back to the mainland for safe keeping. Pours a clear brown with good solid beige head, smells deeply of a yeasty malt and nothing else, certainly of the 70's. Flavour is big cloying sweet caramel and some yeast, huge orange peel notes, dark and sweet like pumpernickel; medium finish. Deep and chewy, not bad, rather heavy. Drinkable nonetheless.

Cooked orange. Clear copper with a frothy white head. Candied cooked orange. Not sure how the style or adjunct are well represented.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with fresh oranges upfront, followed by a bit of cocoa, and some light oak. Flavour is rather puzzling, with a strange mix of orange peel, oak, and red wine, followed by estery notes and candied sugar. Chaotic, bizarre and of course, totally inauthentic. I'm not sure what the point of this was, but whatever it was, it's not convincing.
