Bottle from Mitsuwa, Edgewater NJ. Pours cloudy reddish-light brown with a small foamy beige head, medium carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste, faint lemon-pepper flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Very interesting brew. The beer gushed out when I opened it, probably due to bottle fermentation.

Sansho pepper all over the place!... Makes it undrinkable.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazed dull reddish brown, brownish cream-coloured head. Malty nose with mild spice. Smooth palate, nice amber malt, dubbel aspirations with a pleasant sweetness and complimentary sancho spice. Unusual to have a spiciness like this in a Belgian dubbel but it works nicely.
