On tap at Loyal Legion, pours a clear chestnut brown with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals the Belgian yeast, with toasted chestnuts and candi sugar. Flavour is gently sweet and estery, with candi sugar, light esters and Belgian yeast. Not exactly authentic but it's reasonably crafted.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a decent white head. Aroma of yeast/spice. Med body. Flavor is pale malt, yeast, spice, touch of coriander, hint of banana. Dry. Bitter. Went a bit gummy in the finish. Nice flavor.

Pour is a dark mahogany brown with a smallish white head. Aroma is brown sugar, tootsie rolls and treacle. Flavor is brown candi sugar with molasses and plumbs. This was a well made dubbel. Only knock is that it's a bit sweet but it's pretty much spot on and delicious.

I'm not going to lie, I had the lowest of expectations for this given the adjuncts and "quintuple" Belgian traditionalness. But it's delicious, raspberry and chocolate are light, some Belgian esters accompany it. Mad drinkable 12abv. Awesome stuff.

Smooth and easy drinking Belgian strong. Florals, fig, prune. Pours dark amber with good head. Light sweet finish. Easy drinking after the Maple Fred from the Wood I just had. Definitely more along my personal lines of appreciation. Tap at Horse Brass.

16oz can from Tavour. Very different - a one point it's a Tripel, next it's a DDH IPA. Odd combo - still pretty tasty

16oz can from Tavour. Medium golden, clear, small, spotty head. Aroma is caramel malts and Belgian yeast. Taste starts with a burst of floral notes, then some alcohol warmth, caramel, butter before finishing with a sharp sting. Darn good.

Can from Tavour. Pours bright, brassy gold with a creamy white head. Aroma seems quite floral. Hint of yeast. Med body. It's dry. Very. Earthy/yeasty. Suddenly it's not dry. There's a spice hint that could be clove. An astringency that could be pineapple. Bitter enough. A little imagination could find Brett. Maybe a lot of imagination. Good flavors.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is a bit yeasty with some spice and a little coriander. Med body. Flavor is not entirely dry; yeast; earth; hot bits - could be clove - could be pepper - could be both. Might even have some passion fruit. :) Nice, but not a trace of Brett - always hoping tho.
