2015 GABF silver award winner. This Belgian style ale marked by a generous addition of caramelized candi sugar and a complex malt bill is a perfect fit for those chilly nights. It pours a rich deep mahogany with a light tan head. Its aroma is of malty sweetness, dried fruit and bright spiciness from our house Belgian yeast. The aroma is followed by flavors of more dark dried fruits (plums, raisins, cherries) and caramel, and also hints of grain from the Belgian caramel malt and aromatic malt.

On tap at HopCat Livonia. Pours a deep amber with a white head. Red grape/raisin in the aroma. Strong fruiity red grape/raisin aroma, a touch of yeasty bubble gum, and some malty depth. Quite good.

22 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 11/2/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby red, light copper/brown color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big raisin, plum, prune, fig, cherry, date, red apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with linger notes of pepper, clove, nuttiness, chocolate, toffee, molasses, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, candi sugar, dark/bready/light roast malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, prune, fig, cherry, date, red apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with linger notes of pepper, clove, nuttiness, chocolate, toffee, molasses, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light peppery yeast spiciness and herbal/roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark fruit, cherry, apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light pepper/clove, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, candi sugar, dark/bready/light roast malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.8%. Overall this is an excellent Dubbel! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, candi sugar, dark/bready/light roast malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/spicy finish. Never overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. Very rich and complex; with perfectly balanced Belgian malt and yeast character; with adequate dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
