Ran the 20 miles, a 50 lb. sack on my back, with this one on 5/4/2006. 14-oz. goblet pour at the Harvard Square location.

Described in the menu, “This Trappist-style ale is fermented with a special Belgian yeast. The spicy, fruity aroma complements the firm, dry finish of this complex ale. Malt: Pale, Crystal… Hops: Saaz, Hersbracker… OG: 18.5 BUs: 20 7.1% abv.” Very thinly sliced coating of bone white head that dissolves to just a skein. Very deep, dark brown hue verging on black and thus can’t see what’s happening in there. Very fruity, ripe banana and vanilla scents on nose, with a touch of caramel and cedar. Very straightforward dubbel – good amount of malt sweetness balanced with a lightly present hop character; some cocoa notes and a springy mint flavor lopes around in there.

One of the best JH offerings I’ve had the pleasure of consuming.
