What Our Editors Thought
“Toasty nose with a bit of Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar—cranberry, currant, pecan. Lean and precise in the flavor despite the strength—doesn’t linger, no flab—with some tobacco and chocolate for good measure. Decadent yet refined.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Legs on the glass and a deep amber hue invite contemplation and enjoyment. Nice caramel fig on the nose. Classic flavors of raisin, lightly toasted bread, spicy pepper, and smooth perfumy alcohols instantly mark this beer as Belgian. Fruity flavors further expressed include a hint of banana and cherry, again balanced by smooth and subtle white pepper. Drinks super-clean; a touch of bitterness balances the strong malt character. Finishes on the dry end, as appropriate, despite the alcohol and fruity esters.”
What the Brewers Say
“All-malt Belgian-style dubbel.”
