   Rejewvenator poured a deep brown color with a finger width tan head.  The aroma has some sweetness but is dominated by tons of rich malts.  The body has a smooth texture with a really unique flavor.  The dubbel shines through at the beginning before transitioning more to a doppelbock flavor towards the finish.  The dates are most noticeable in the middle but are apparent throughout and work well with the two styles.  The alcohol is slightly noticeable towards the end which leads to a warming finish, with some hops showing through as the malts die out a bit.  Overall, this is a pretty damn good beer.  I love the idea as it is unique and interesting.  The body is big but is not overwhelming and the blend of the two styles leads to a real nice taste.  The beer is decent as a stand alone but would be best paired with some food, and a cheese plate with some figs would be perfect.        

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
