Pint can pours with a clear amber ruby red colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up blend of dates, prunes, black strap molasses and a thin roasted malt sensation. The taste delivers similar notes of sweet fruity dates, prunes and a bit of raisins. To midway it picks up a fun roasted malt note as well as a thin layer of spicy black strap molasses. This is a fun Dubbel.

Pint can pours with a clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up pineapple and mango nuanced tangerine, grapefruit and tangelo citrus hoppiness as well as some white grapes toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers a mash up of citrus and tropical fruitiness. It goes from tangerine, tangelo and orange marmalade to mango and a bit of pineapple and white grape notes. It does end a tad too sweet but that doesn't get in the way.

Pint can pours with a clear amber copper colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up moderate smoky pork and wood with a bit of nuttiness in the background. The taste delivers more rauch than the nose. And I like it. I get a pleasing level of smoky pork mixed with maybe smoldering alderwood. I love a big smoky beer and this one, doesn't deliver on that, is pretty nice and a better smoke expression than most local rauch beer attempts. It could use more smoke in the aroma but the taste works for me.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a bright white head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting spicy Saaz like hops, a bit of esters and then a faint sense of dry pale malts. The taste keeps up with the nose by offering up a tasty load of spicy hoppiness that brings a smile to my face. The hops are supported by a modest faintly sweet maltiness that runs from front to back. This ends pleasingly dry and demands additional quaffs. I'll need much more of this. Well done.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a bright white head. The modest aroma offers up a blend of soft thin smoke notes, a modest light colored fruity esters and a bit of malts. The taste delivers a pleasing smooth smokiness that's punctuated by the carbonation, light fruity esters and a touch of yeast. The modest smokiness persists to midway and into the finish as moderate spicy hoppiness tags along. Nice offering.

Pint can pours with a nearly clear deep gold colored body that supports a full near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a blend of peach and tangelo before heading into berry and mango notes as well as a touch of hop spiciness. Interesting. The taste delivers similar notes as a peach, tangelo and pineapple mingle at the start. It then grows into increasing, largely, grapefruit like citrus hop bitterness and then kinda tannic like white grapes. It ends pretty clean where the hop flavor to hop bitterness balance creates the need for another sip. Nice stuff.
