12 oz bottle, born on 5/14/21, poured into a pilsner glass at 45 degrees F:
L - copper tan with a soft off white head visible carbonation
S - clove, banana, coriander, roasted malt
T - Belgian yeast flavors of coriander, banana, clove dominate
F - lots of carbonation with a light crisp mouthfeel
O - nice, I think I liked the draft better. Perhaps this is past its prime although the bottle says drinkable to 5/2023

 

 

 

Pours murky brown with billowing tan head. Aroma of banana, black pepper, nutmeg, and dates. Taste includes candied dark fruits, spices and a boozy warming finish. Wet and pillowy mouthfeel.

 

12oz bottle best by February 2nd 2026

On the pour 3 fingers of fluffy off white head formed on top of a dark reddish brown, and hazy body. Over a couple minutes the head fades to a 0.5cm covering. Sporadic lacing forms.

Aroma is a bit hollow on the first impression. There is a strange almost metallic or mineralic earthiness, before a sweet caramel malt comes though and some nice Belgian yeast spiciness. There is a bit of a funk.

Flavor is very nice with a slight bitterness along with a bready pumpernickel maltiness. The spicy yeast comes in strong with cloves vanilla and cinnamon, not to mention the actual spices that were used during brewing. Then a nice fade into a mellow, sweet, and almost mulled malty finish that is slightly chocolate. The bitterness fades fast.

The feel on this beer is full, but dry, and surprisingly drinkable for the abv. The 8% still makes itself known, but in a friendly relaxing way. Super smooth and cozy. It reminds me of the holidays.

Overall this was a nice surprise. Easy drinking and mellow for this style of beer. Full flavor and cozy comforting maltiness, but no clear alcohol burn make this very nice as a beer after a long day at work.

 

 

 

 

12oz bottle poured into a goblet glass. Off white head falls to a light cap. Rich brown color with carbonation rising to the top. Smell is vinous at first. Then aromas of fresh baked brown bread. Taste is malty, bready, some caramel, a bit of dark fruit. Taste is fairly light and fades away in the finish. Feel is light, well carbonated. Overall, this is good, but flavors kind of fade too quickly.

 

 

12oz bottle dated best before 5/24/25.

Pours dark copper with a chill-haze. Moderate retention and lacing. Clove-studded apples with a caramel drizzle in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Fairly malty on the palate with minimal bitterness and a earthy, spicy profile. Finishes fairly dry with lingering spice.

 

Pours a rich orangish-brown with a fluffy white head that just won't go away. The first thing I smelled was bananas with a malty support. There is also a spiciness which follows through in the taste. The feel is medium and is refreshing. Overall a good dubbel. I salute the damned. :)
