12oz bottle. Unfiltered deep brown body. Steady creamy beige head. Pretty much nails it for the style. Deep doughy brown chocolate notes, steady thick hop balance. Solid offering, straight down the middle, well done.

12oz bottle. Dulled orange-tan body, frothy off-white head. Piny NW hops, some mild grapefruit. Classic clean golden malt backdrop. touches of deeper malts like Munich perhaps? Pretty straight up classic US Pale Ale more or less. OK.

22 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled in July 2014. Pours slightly cloudy deep amber/copper color with a small dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a spotty lacing cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of raisin, plum, cherry, pear, apple, light banana, pepper, clove, caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, light chocolate, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, cherry, pear, apple, light banana, pepper, clove, caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, light chocolate, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Fair amount of earthy yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, plum, cherry, pear, apple, light banana, pepper, clove, caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and robustness of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate amount of dryness present on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a very nice dubbel style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle: Slightly hazy brow with a small tan head. Toasty caramel, nut scent. Taste is the same....a little metallic/herbal, slightly bitter nuts, toffee malt. Decent, average.

355 ml bottle, from Fakta, Denmark. B B date 30.05.2014. Gusher bottle de luxe, only a little of the hazy deep reddish brown beer ends up in the glass. Large to moderate off-white head. Fairly nice malty aroma, lightly roasted and nutty notes. Malty, nutty and slightly roasty flavour too, a slight fruity acidity. Okay, and probably better fresh.

Bottle. A- Malty, roasty, dry, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, light brown head. T- Malty, roasty, bakers chocolate, dry. P- Medium body, thin texture, high carbonation, dry roasty finish. O- Really not that great of a beer. At first it smelled like blood, which I am not sure where that came from. After the head faded away, that odd aroma went out the door and dry roasty cocoa came in. The palate was about the same. Simply a boring stout, really.

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow gold with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is honey, grain, floral. Thin mouth, sweet honey, wheat, easy to drink, good.
