Bouteille 330ml. De couleur brune-rouge foncée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (raisins, de prunes, notes de figues) aux notes épicées (poivre), de caramel sucré, léger de houblon herbeux et de sucre brun avec des notes d’alcool très doux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse aux notes sirupeuses. Goût de levures fruitées (prunes, raisins aux notes vineuses, notes de figues) aux notes épicées (poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel sucré avec un léger goût de sucre brun brûlé et quelques traces de chocolat puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec des notes d’alcool doux faiblement réchauffant et de noix. Post-goût moyen-long et légèrement sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux, avec un léger goût d’alcool doux et de levures fruitées (moût de raisins, pelures de prunes) ainsi que des traces rôties et terreuses.

Aroma is somewhat malty with brown sugar, ripe fruits and spices. Flavour has orange peel, malty notes, some ripe fruits and chocolate. Alcohol and metallic notes on some sips. Decent.

(Bottle) Pours clear dark ruby with big beige head - looks very enticing. Aroma is not very distinct, caramel with hint of wet leaves. Medium bodied and rather surprisingly fizzy. Starts slightly sour and then the rich caramel malt flavours develop. Just as the flavours seem to be subsiding a rich and bitter kick develops at the end. I was expecting more from this beer, so it left me disappointed mainly about a rather muddy and odd set of flavours.

(Draught at BarHop, Toronto, 27-12-2012) Poured a dark ruby brown with an inch of bubbly cream coloured head, bit of lacing left. Aroma was caramel malt, light yeasty spice, slight dark pit fruit. Flavour was sweet brown sugar malts, a little bit of darker fruit, light spice and a bit of bready yeast. Little alcohol heat, weak finish. Palate was fairly light, carb soft but not creamy nor effervescent. Even blander cold at recommended temperature. An inoffensive but ultimately uninteresting dubbel.

zeer weinig aroma te herkennen, caramel en mout komen er wel uit. bruin van kleur, ondoorzichtig met licht bruine kraag. medium zoet, medium bitter, sterk. tonen van mout, hout, gist, metaal, kruidnage,l caramout, koffie en chocolade, bitter en pittig. smaken zijn redelijk tot goed op elkaar afgestemd heeft veel weg van een bockbier, redelijke carbonatie. niet echt spectaculair maar best te doen.

Dark brown with beige head. Smells of smokey wood and berries. The taste strikes you immediately; almonds, nuts, berries. Alcohol persists throughout, even in the aftertaste. Very good. Murky amber, lasting creamy off-white head. Fruity aroma, dry fruits, biscuit, spice. Bit husky taste, sweet, alcohol present, harsh. Medium body, medium carbonation, sweet finish turns light dry. Good beer, but really not very interesting.
