Flaska från SB. Valnötsfärgad klar vätska nästan helt utan skum. Doft av torkad frukt, karamell, övermogen frukt särskilt banan och choklad. Smak av karamell, torkad frukt, jäst, rostad malt, banankaka och marsipan. Väl söt och ganska endimensionell smakbild. Ok

The dubbel in this series, commissioned by a Belgian guy living in Sweden and brewed by Verzet. Bottle from Van Eetvelde in Lokeren. Fairly thick, densely moussy, lightly and irregularly lacing, pale yellowish beige, creamy, slowly breaking head over an initially clear, deep burgundy brown beer with ruby hue, misty with sediment. Aroma of dry hazelnuts, coriander seed, butterscotch candy, dried plums, candi sugar, pear syrup, a lot of candied fig, soggy brown bread, baked banana, dried orange peel, wodka, medlar, white pepper, brown artisanal honey, treacle, meringue, hints of old cinnamon, ginger, young dry sherry, wet dog, thyme, nutmeg, raisins, almond, vague coffee filter. Sweet onset with sourish edges accentuated by initially quite sharp, minerally carbonation, a tad much so even for a Belgian dubbel, hints of dried banana and dried plum, candied fig, old raisins, pear, continuing alongside a treacle-like brown sugary sweetishness over a rounded, old 'speculoos'- and brown bread-like malt body with lightly toasty accents at its sides. Spicy phenols develop towards the end, cloves as usual but something thyme-like as well, blending with a coriander seed soapiness which in turn blends with a slick, wheaty soapy aspect. Ends 'coriandered' and a bit yeasty (after adding the sediment at least), bready and fairly sweet with honeyish traits yet softly shifting to a delicately toasty-bitterish profile, but also well-hopped, with this earthy, rooty and bit floral bitterness to it, balancing the sweetness only in the very end; this bitterness is, however, reinforced by a quite astringent, gin-like afterglow of warming alcohol, the wry effect of which becomes a bit much to bear on the root of the tongue at least if you are sensitive to it like I am. Ends quite boozy, on the brink of astringent, 'down-to-earth' hop bitter but still malt and residual sugar sweet as well; a vaguely coffee filter-like remnant of the malty toastiness lingers too. Pleasant enough in the nose, very much a textbook dubbel I'd say - albeit on the sweet side, because, like tripels, basically invented at the same brewery (Westmalle), dubbels too have a sickly sweet side to them; this is enjoyable enough, a tad too sweet for its own good perhaps, and certainly a bit too boozy, with this wodka-like flavour (and heat) lingering around after swallowing - drenched in coriander seed as well. Overcoriandered to my personal liking, but I get the idea of combining a lot of residual 'brown' sugariness with coriander to achieve the classic Belgian dubbel experience. In all: quite expressive and well-made, but too boozy in its execution and, worse, way too stereotypical in its concept, cramming all the clichés of the style into one package. Which was probably the intention, as I had the exact same feeling with De Vos Tripel. Not bad, in all, and I do appreciate the fact that the commissioner tries to introduce the Swedish palate to classic 20th-century Belgian style flavour profiles as is apparently the intention - but how does this fit in a country that gave us first Nils Oscar and later Närke, Stigbergets, Beerbliotek, Poppels, the ever-amusing 'pastry-cook' antics of Omnipollo and so on? I have no idea.
