You know, it’s a four for appearance - nice off-white head, a decent clear amber, Charlevoix’s Dominus line has its appearances down for sure. The aroma, however, is a weak malt-sugar concoction that tells me they need to pay attention to other aspects of the beer. The flavour is sweet malt with a dry finish; a classic Belgian-style mix that’s reliable, but uncomplex and unexceptional, but hard to go wrong with.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is anise with some molasses. Flavor is sweet brown sugar with some strong thick malts. Finish has no alcohol and leaves a ginger on the tounge. Good but not great and the triple I’ve just had by this brewer was much better.

Bottle, 9%. Interesting spicy aroma. Hazy dark brown colour, red shine. OK small light brown head. The flavour is nicely spicy, quite sweet with some dried. Has some metal flavour, would have been quite nice without it.

Bottle from Internet Wines & Spirits! Good folks. Buy from them. Bottle tried to exude some foam. Aroma is marvelously spicey! Color approaches ruby and the head is not big, but at least it’s beige going to tan. As the glass approaches the lips, juniper is all over me. Near full bodied with foamy carbonation. Flavor is spicey juniper. Hey! I love gin. Don’t drink it anymore, but I love it. This stuff sort of burns the mouth with flavor. Super tasty stuff. Get some. With the passage of half an hour, and more sipping, the juniper aspect escapes me. The lable says star anise. And I am beginning to tast liquorice. But this doesn’t cause me to think less of this very tasty ale.

Bottle sampled at SIB, pours cloudy dark orange. Aroma and flavour of figs, dates, caramel malts, spices and Belgian yeast. Lots of carbonation - very smooth. Excellent.

I suppose I realized that this was a belgian double when I bought it, but it really didnt taste like one. strong berry, maybe cherry? aroma right off the bat, spice and orange flavor and a great malt/hop balance. i really didnt know what to expect from this one, was a crapshoot when i bought it and i was very pleasantly surprised.

Bought this one in bottles, and sampled the first time at the pub itself. Poured a dark purple-red colour with red highlights. The head was beautiful, tanned, creamy, had excellent retention and great lacing. Got a blueberry scent at first, then turned into spices and Belgian yeast. Very, very smooth mouthfeel with not even close to a burn. The taste had good fruit with some strong bite. Berries lingered into the aftertaste. Just like all the other Vobiscum brews, this one is excellent.
