Vicaris Generaal is a dark brown, top-fermented beer with a beautiful yellowish head. The additional use of special malts lends this dark version of the Vicaris Triple not only its unique warm colour but also its distinctive full-bodied flavour and rich aroma. The specially selected hop variety creates the right balance between bitter and roasted malt tones. Fans of a strong dark beer will love this connoisseur beer with taste evolution. So, don’t be afraid to keep it for a few months or even years, its distinct character will only get better.

Bottle, 0.33l. Deep ruby pour two finger frothy beige head, thick and long lasting, leaving really nice lacing on the glass. Malty nose, loads of caramel and toffee, sweetish, flowery background. Medium body, soft to medium carbonation. Thick texture, really pleasant mouthfeel, very smooth. Sweet taste with very subtle bitterness towards the finish. Aroma of caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Bready, yeasty. Notes of chocolate. Flowery. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, well hidden alcohol. Overall, really nice dubbel. Rich and tasty, one to enjoy slowly.

Bottle at Hundholmen, Bod�. Pours a hazy brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma of fudge, coffee, bread, chocolate, phenols and raisins. Sweet flavour with dried fruit, chocolate, coffee, bread crust, nuts, leather and some alcohol. Has a slick mouth feel, medium to full body and a light bitterness. Malty and sweet but unbalanced flavour. Aging will help this beer.

At Brugs Beertje, Bruges. Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, foamy, tan head. The aroma contains caramel, roasted malt, bread & yeast, dark chocolate, dark fruits, alcohol, hops and herbs. It tastes medium chocolatey and caramel-like sweet and medium herbal bitter with a dry, warming, alcoholic finish. Full body, oily/sticky texture, fizzy carbonation. A great Abbey Dubbel; well done by Dilewyns.

Thanks Sharky! Thick beige big head, lasting. Ruby-brown clear body. Dried red fruit and spice on pollen and strong maltiness. Very nice! Dry taste dominated by dry caramel and some estery fruitiness. Ends on a sugary note. Bit soapy.Nice enough.
