4/29/23 Single bottle bought from Kroger's in Morgantown WV.
Aroma light spice. Sweet malt. Pumpernickel bread. Life a sweet dark brown sugar syrup
Highly effervescent. Bready. Lingering malt and molasses. Drying ending. Leaves a not terribly nice aftertaste... Can't describe it.

Tasted from a 12 oz bottle poured into a wine glass.
L - Medium amber color and slightly cloudy. Huge, fluffy, never-ending tan head.
S - Fresh aromas are bready malt, molasses, raisins and honey. There are also some woody, slightly herbal notes that are likely from hops.
T - Wonderful flavors are similar to the aromas. There is bready malt and slightly spicy, molasses-like Special B alt. Raisins, prunes and honey come mid-palate, with herbal hops notes that lighten the finish.
F - Light to moderate body with strong, creamy carbonation. Medium hops bitterness. Moderate alcohol heat, but not boozy.
O - This is a delicious dubbel that is packed with flavor and aroma, but is not overly sweet or stifling. Others would do well to draw inspiration from this beer.

330 ml bottle poured into a tulip.
L: Cloudy amber, over two inches of dense off-white foam diminishes rather slowly to a ring with a rocky island center of the glass, head readily rebuilds with an easy swirl.
S: Nose is strong and pleasurable, opening aromas of sweet fruited bread, dark sugars and hints of baking spices, with clean spicy hops coming after.
T: Opening is malty and plays at dark sugary sweetness but is well attenuated, the more-dry mild bitterness quickly cleans the palate.
F: Full body with moderate carbonation lightening the feel, crisp in the middle with bookended smoothness, creamy towards the finish.
O: Nice, kind of a lighter weight sipper.

Very nice, it's lightly sweet and kind of bready. Raisins and brown sugar primarily with notes of apple pie at the edges. The finish dries out nicely, with perfumed, gentle heat. This beer is gorgeous to look at, a crystal clear light amber color with a massive, uneven, sticky head. Glad to have finally tried this one.

Appearance: Cloudy saddle brown or medium amber. Off white head with good retention.
Aroma: Malty with apple, pear and spices
Flavor: Apple, pear and spices.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied. A little creamy and highly effervescent.
Overall: Drying, effervescent and quite refreshing for a Belgian. I like the lighter fruit-like flavor and aromas.

330ml bottle into a Chimay glass. Best by 4/19/26.
Looks good, if a little mixed. Handsome glowing slightly hazy honey colored body. The small white head peter's out to nothing.
Some fruit on the nose.
On tasting, smooth and clean, incredibly so. Faint sweet notes, even fainter fruit, good and malty.
Mouth above medium, finish warming fruit and malt.
Overall, might have to change my stance on dubbels, this one was very good indeed. So smooth and clean.

L - Poured from a bottle into an oversized wine glass. 1.5 finger tan head on medium pour. Reduces down to a film. Not much lacing. Medium brown hazy color.
S - Bready malts up front. A little sweet.
T - Taste follows scent. Lovely malt flavors. Caramel and bread. Slightly yeasty in there. A little dry on the finish as it warms up.
F - Medium carbonation and medium mouthfeel.
O - Overall this is a fantastic beer. Great malty flavors and no bitterness. Definitely in my regular rotation and would recommend to anyone.
