Draft. Deep brown body. Tan, fizzy head, mostly diminishing. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel, chocolate and roasted malts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. The finish leaves a slight metallic taste, very much like a light stout. The beer is enjoyable, but it was missing some of the classic abbey charactertistics of a dubbel: the hints of overripe fruit and earthy, moldy yeast flavor.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma had a nice combination of sweet bread and pine hops. There was also a good amount of adjunct, corn, on the nose as well. The flavor was overwhelmingly pine hop and very one note.

Sample at Heorot in Muncie, IN. The beer pours a clear brownish-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark malt, caramel and hops. Medium body with flavors of piney hops and malt plus a touch of citrus. The finish is hoppy up front and settles to a sweet malty aftertaste. Decent Imperial Red overall.

On tap. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma has a nice combination of sweet grains and citrus hops. Flavor is dominated by pine hops and the grain and citrus notes are an after thought.
