Dark chestnut color. Light but persistent head. Applesauce smell. Surprisingly light for a dubbel. Fundamental flavor of apple cider. Notes of cardamom. Some ethanol taste. No hop bitterness. Virtually none of the base notes typical of a dubbel. Gentle effervescence.

750ml bottle - Pours a lovely chestnut brown with a 2 finger off white foam head which has good retention and it has lively carbonation. On the nose, a fantastic sweet aroma of dark dried fruit and sweet biscuity malt but hints of bready malt are present too. Taste follows the nose and it's just a lovely sweet, malty beer with the faintest spice for good measure. Great mouthfeel, top notch dubbel.

11.2 oz bottle best by 01/07/26 into a Watu chalice.
L: Pours dark murky brown with a ruby hue, has a somewhat thin light tan head that is slightly soapy, good fine carbo bubbles, no lacing. *This was a slow pour.
S: Red wine tannins, dried fruits, a hint of wood cask, a light note of booze.
T: Complex and moderately full-flavored. Lightly sweet caramelized dark fruits, floral, apple, chocolate, sort of spicy, plum, honeycomb, cork, rum cake, a hint of booze, raisins, toasted grains, notes of brown bread and leafy bitterness in the finish.
F: Crisp, brisk, and lively medium-bodied with a firm middle and a gently creamy med-length lightly drying finish. Becomes softer with warming and is also slightly warming in the chest.
O: Lightly sweet overall. Snappy, deep, elegant and a beautiful tasting slow-sipping beer. Fantastic aftertaste and feel. A light note of chocolate is ever-present as are succulent dark fruit notes. It is outstanding in its style.
