330ml bottle bought from the brewery and drunk at home. Light reddish brown with a clear body and a ring of off-white head. Light smell of dates and fruity caramels. Taste is sweet at first but there's a gentle hoppy bitterness toward the finish. Light body for the ABV with medium to high carbonation. Decent enough dubbel but I'm surprised by other's high rates.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - deep brown with maybe a hint of red. Off-white, thin head. Nose - brown sugar going into toffee. Taste - toffee, toffee, toffee. Palate - medium bodied, sweet middle and finish. A bit cloying. Overall - a bit sweeter than Dubbel should be but somewhat missing in the Belgian yeast tang that you'd hope for.

Bottle from Bargain Booze, Mold. Dark reddish-brown with next to no head. Fruity and very sweet in its nose, with this sweetness carrying through to its taste, clearly with a strength. There’s a few dark malts to enjoy here. Has a very mild fizz in the palate.

Bottle from Gravity Station, Cardiff. Pours deep dark ruby brown with a small short lasting tan head. Stunning aroma of malt, dark fruits, plum, blackberry, banana and vanilla. Quite heavy on sweetness, with light bitterness. Full bodied, slick/oily texture, carbonation is a touch too fizzy. Finish of lasting malty and fruity sweetness. Apart from the higher than expected carbonation level, this beer is top notch.

330ml bottle from Stori Beer & Wine, Bala. Pours deep brown with good tan head. Promising dubbel sweetness in the aroma. Taste is a flavoursome dubbel with plenty of caramel, brown sugar, dried fruits and spice. Without doubt the best Hafod I’ve had so far. Very good dubbel.

@ Hucknall Beer Festival - a quality looking and smelling brew, dark brown body, thin frothy white head. Nose of fruit, the dark cake variety, almost rum-like. The taste is initially sweet, but has a richness to it similar to a secondary liqueur casked ale, with a massive hit of booze at the end. To say I liked this is an understatement, many will follow who disagree, but this was the highlight of my day!
