A deep reddish, and complex Belgian style ale. Six different types of malted barley, Belgian candied syrup and Belgian yeast are combined to produce a very smooth, complex and slight sweet ale.

Can to Belgian tulip.
Appearance: ruddy dark amber color with a two finger white foamy head, dissipated slowly to leave subtle lace
Aroma: candied dark fruits, Belgian malts, dark toastiness, Belgian chocolate, semi-spicy Belgian yeastiness
Flavor: Belgian sweet & spicy through the prior noted aromas, Belgian malty and semi-sweet aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and possibly being a sipper, semi-dry and semi-sweet Belgian malty finish
Overall: seems more of one of those catch all beers that could be classified as a Belgian dark strong ale rather than a true Belgian dubbel but hey, I believe I could have this again and this might be a worthy beer to have with a cigar.

12oz can c/o Ryan. Loud, quick fading, soda-like carbonation..no head at all after 15 seconds. Enjoyable flavor profile, not too many brewers go after a Belgian Amber. Body is lacking compared to an actual Belgian beer. OK.

Canned 7/11/24, drunk 10/26/24. Clear auburn-amber. Medium-sized head, falls to edges quickly. Initial nose is, perhaps, a bit metallic, reserved and earthy. But just as with the flavor, it opens up considerably with warming and breathing, softening and adding body. By the end of my glass, it was pretty malty, clean, spicy, quite reasonably done, actually. I'm guessing a lot of these ratings were cold and quick with a small sample size, not allowing it to warm and breathe.

12 ounce can from Jack's Fresh Mart Menominee, 5/27/23. Michigan #991. Clear amber, thin beige head, poor retention. Aroma of stone fruit, strawberry, caramel, bready malt, candi sugar. Taste is stone fruit, toffee, caramel, vanilla, candi sugar. Well balanced, warming. Slick. Nice.
