75 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Aroma is caramelish and slight fruity. Thick caramelish and distinct bitter. Dark toffee malty, sharp and yet sweet. Subdued fruity. Bitter and dry finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a hazy dark amber with a lacing off-white head. The nose is nutty with some wood, roasted malt and dry caramel. Medium body, surprisingly well-carbonated, spicy, woody notes, a whiff of smoke and dry overripe fruit. Extremely dry, surprisingly for the style, but it makes it very drinkable. Some bittering hops in the finish, but this really ain’t a hoppy beer. A very different - but interesting - take on a Barley Wine. 241010

Very robust, hoppy IPA. Almost pungent on the nose. Luscious reddish brown in colour. Great in the mouth and in the belly. I’ll be back for some more. Need to get this in bottles soon.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/10/2010 (label says bottled 20/7/2010). Has quite a strong grassy and slightly floral aroma. Has some bready notes and a fair bit of honey in the flavour, and has a decent hoppy finish. A pretty good pilsener which would be quite sessionable.

From a 330ml bottle on 25/8/2010. The aroma is very fruity - plums and raisins with some spice. Starts out very sweet, with dark fruit and caramel flavours prevalent. Lives up to its name with oodles of lingering hops. A big beer, which is not particularly subtle, but has a fair bit of character. Enjoyable.

Deep brown coloured muddy body with a very thin tan head that fades very fast. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, caramel and a lot of pit fruits. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasty flavours with caramel, coffee, figs, tea and some alcohol finishes. Aftertaste is relatively mild, with only some malty, nutty and caramel flavours tucked in. Overall, a pretty good beer - but not really a ’traditional’ dubbel - more of an american strong to me. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 31-December-2009 for A$5.50, sampled on this side of the Pacific on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 29-May-2010.
