Bottled. Pours a very dark mahogany. Lots of sugary sweetness. Maybe a little too much, would have preferred a bit less.

Pours dark brown with a thick creme head. Aroma of spice. Taste is light and refreshing, distinct notes of spice and coriander. Palate contains earthen notes, toned down ferrous influences. Good beer.

Smoke and prune with a bit of caramel. Pours murky brown with decent head. Light sweet finish. Good balance and pretty well done. Floral aroma like dentist reception desks. Bottle.

From a local bodega: pours mahagony with off white head. Aroma is dark fruits, brown sugar, general yeastiness. Taste is somewhat sweet. Pretty restrained. Easy drinking. Not bad.

Pour is a murky brown with a small tan head. Aroma is brown sugar sweetness with some plum. Flavor is brown sugar some dark fruit with some esters from the yeast but there is a nice richness. Not a overly flavorful dubbel but it is going in the right direction. A bit too sweet but the rich dark fruit shines here.

Pours a brown from a bottle. Aroma of fruity esters and banana. Similar flavor, no candi sugar but sweet caramel. Good beer.

Bottle pour into tulip pint glass. Aroma is strong dark fruit/apple smell with astringent alcohol like acetone or witch hazel. Appearance is deep red, almost like a sangria, with huge chunks of dark yeast floating about (forgot to withhold last bit in the bottle--d’oh!), no sparkle, quickly-fading 1/2 finger-width head to ring of off-white. No lacing. Taste is dark fruit moderate sweetness. Palate is medium bodied with sticky, thick texture, lively carbonation (stings a little) and dry finish. Overall, this certainly gets the fruity end of the taste scale but lack of complexity and deficits in aroma, appearance and palate drag it down.
