Pours a dark amber, almost brown color, with a huge rocky cream colored head.
Very yeasty nose, spicy, with some vinegar like notes.
Taste is good. Very clean tasting dubbel, classic flavors, and nothing really distracting. Starts out with tart fruit flavors, some spicy yeast, and creamy malts. Finish is dry, with a hint of alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel is nice, prickly warmth, smooth, and well carbonated.
Drinkabilty is very good. This is a very nice Dubbel, fits the style really well. I'd happily drink another of these.

I thought it was pretty damn solid, but I'm not a stout drinker like some of you tards. I'll definitely pick up a 4-pack of this in the future when I get tired of drink my Belgian Champaign beers. I drank it with spicy chicken and veggie red curry.

My daddy had some Guinness and this Sapporo beer in the cooler. I grabbed a bottle of the Asian one. I liked it. (Its Japanese but brewed in Guelph where I lived for a while). Then I went on youtube for ***** and giggles. Found this half black half italian guy, names JD and he kicks *** at reviewing beers. Check it...

Jealous... :( We had a local beer festival this weekend. Got to tried 43 different brews from around the world I hadn't tried before. All in all, great time. Just hope they do it next year...
