Belgian dubbel from De Glazen Toren, recently relaunched, but its recipe apparently dates back twelve years already; now simply called Slagersbier without further specifications, as only this dark version has been resurrected from the dead and not the blonde one which originally accompanied it. From a 75 cl bottle shared with Goedele at Velootje in the Patershol quarter in Ghent. Pale greyish beige, mousy but quite loosely knit and quickly opening head; initially near clear mahogany brown robe with ruddy-burgundy hue, misty with sediment. Aroma of hard caramel candy, pecan nuts, cloves, dried lavender, bayleaf, dusty old nutmeg, brown bread crust, dry tea bags. Subdued in sweetness, some dried fig and apple peel aspects, lively carbonation with minerally notes, slick and bit resinous mouthfeel, actually rather thin for a dubbel; walnutty and caramelly maltiness, slick and a tad metallic at the edges, phenolic spicy notes in the end (liquorish, clove, even a touch of lavender) merging with a late toasty bitter edge to the malts combined with a leafy hop bitter tail, a bit earthy too especially after adding the sediment. Dry dubbel, also a bit more hop bitter than I am used to from this classic Belgian ale style, but a bit thin, straightforward and metallic as well. I never had the original version so no idea if this new one is any different, for the better or for the worse.

Bottled. An unclear dark brown beer with a lazing light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of butter. The flavor is sweet malty with a slight acidity - in the good way, combined with notes of caramel, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, dark brown with an orange hue and an off-white head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and dried fruit. Fairly full body with some sweet, roasted malts. Lightly vinous with an enticing, tart edge which I don’t know how intentional it was though, but it comes out quite interesting. Not too bad. 080307

Bottled, by De Proef. Very dark ruby. Vinous plum aroma. Sweet and very fruity with notes of candy, sugar and brandy. The soft mouthfeel can partly be explained by the low carbonation. The sweetness is balanced by the almost acidic fruitiness. Interesting!

Bottle, probably infected. Cloudy dark brown color, medium off-white head. Aroma is bit sour and milky, but upon carefully shaking aroma is more roasted malty, some chocolate, bit fruity. I think it’s supposed to be that way. Taste is slight sweet and malty, but also quite sour and creamy.
