In de neus valt een lichtzoete toets op - de alcohol (8 vol.% Alc) is daar niet vreemd aan - maar toch komt dit sterk bier fris over. De smaak is volmondig en prikkelend op de tong. Lichtjes zoet (maar niet plakkerig), een vleugje rijp fruit, maar vooral koffiebitter bepalen het karakter van dit bier. Ook de lange afdronk wordt door deze bitterheid overheerst.

Bottle at Cambrinus, Bruges, 21/01/18. Rich chestnut brown with a decent light beige cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is malt forward, light spice, caramel, sticky toffee pudding, brown sugar melt. Taste comprises sweet malts, caramel, bread pudding, dates, fruit loaf, dried fruits, slight tangy edge. Medium plus body, fine to prickly carbonation, semi drying close. Decent Belgo strong ... holds the ABV well.

330ml bottle @ Merckx, Bridgnorth. Surprised I've not rated this before. Pours a deep hazy brown, small pale tan head. Aroma is pleasantly sweet, ripened dark fruits. Taste presents a smooth, moderately sweet dubbel, just enough spice, just enough ripened fruits, nicely balanced. Voila.

At times one is fortunate, located Achel 8 Bruin in Santa Fe with a number of other hard to find beers. My Rochefort Trappistes glass receives half of the 11.2 oz bottle. It serves up a dark amber-brown liquid and an eggshell white head with steady carbonation. The nose is rather pleasant, yeast, spun sugar, grain. A sip delivers yellow fruit, yeast again, bread, green apple and an unexpected lingering bitterness. A great, late afternoon treat. Now for that other half.

Bottle at botteltje oostend. Brown color, hazed, creamy beige head, persistent. Candy sugar and caramel with red fruit and berries esters, brandy, whisky and intense woody and earthy notes provided by the yeast, providing a spiced and warning tone. Taste is sweet, syrupy, light bitterness comes after but more on the solvent side. Body is medium to full, average carbonation, creamy texture. Finish fairly aromatic on fuel notes. Iād call this a dubbel. Very sweet and good for desserts and winter time.
