Draught. Brown colour, small creamy head. Aroma has a hint of malt. Malty, sweet flavour with an aftertaste of marcipan. Creamy mouthfeel.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005, served by Garret Oliver] A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet malty and nicely spicy, leading to a dry spicy end. An OK beer, but not as good as most Belgian Dubbels.

On tap at Summit Tavern in Atlanta. Clear brown color with an average sized white head. Aroma comes on as it warms providing some malt and fruitiness. Although the palate isn’t qite as rich and chewy as I like my Dubbels to be, this provides a nice easy drinking brew that delivers some nice malt and fruit flavors on a palate that is light and never heavy. Smooth and very drinkable.

Had this one on draft at Smokin Joe’s in Pittsburgh. It poured a caramel color with a small tan head. The aroma was sweet molasses and caramel. The flavor was sweet, sugary, and had some molasses, caramel and light fruit. A subdued hop presence was in the background. The mouthfeel was reasonably thick. Reminded me very strongly of Maredsous Double.

Draught sample at EBF05. Pours a light brown with some deep auburn tinges to it and a firm light tan head. Aroma of candi sugar, bubble gum, bananas and light hops. Flavor is fairly simple, sweet residual sugars play with bubble gum and a good dose of caramel sweetness, while a restrained Belgian yeast character adds light complexity. Finish is sweet, a touch doughy, with light hops bitterness and more caramel and banana or perhaps, caramelized bananas. Smooth, even, medium-full body with no traces of wateriness. Well-made on all levels, a bit sweet and uncomplex, but I enjoyed it.

Draught - I didn’t really find this at all thin, like most others seem to have - not as sweet as I expected, more of a crisp spice to it, with subdued caramel character - a bit of chocolate in the finish.
