Bottle from Dranken Geers. Dark brown with lasting dark beige head. Belgian yeast and malt aroma. Good dry mlat fruit flavour in mouth, with a decent mix of carbonation and hop on finish. a little bit syrupy on aroma, but dries out in mouth and is really a very drinkable dubbel. Good.

Bottle. A clear, ruby beer with a big, beige head. Yeast clouds. Dried fruits, dark berries, a spicy touch and some yeast in the aroma. Dark sugars, a little spicyness and herbal bitterness, as well as dried and fresh fruits in the mouth. Full-bodied, rather sweetish with a nice carbonation level. Some alcohol warmth too. Bitter, spiced finsih. A classic belgian, pleasant and balanced on the sweet side. (080731)

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy brown with a lacing tan head. Mild yeast spiced and caramel malt. Flavour is mellow yeasty, lightly spiced at first and goes into a mild roasted malt flavour. Gains more spice and bitterness towards the finish.

Bottle, 6.5%. Aroma of dark malts and Belgian yeast. Hazy chestnut colour. Small stable light brown head. The flavour is yeasty in the good old Belgian way. Hint of pepper and OK maltiness. Not too sweet, well-balanced.
