A successful tasting with Adelberts quadrupel previously led me to this dubbel. Obtained at a nearby craft beer/liquor store this weekend, the 750 ml bottle is chilled to try to beat the current 100+ weather in West Texas. I pour into my Chimay glass, what the heck I am an optimist, to see a reddish brown body topped by a thin eggshell white head that does show a nice carbonation. The nose is fruit, ribbon candy and wheat bread. Finally a drink, hey not bad. There is delivered a thick maltiness, yeast, a bit of apricot and red plum. All very pleasant, worth the try. 6/24/18

#2012 Vintage. Tanks to Uli for this one. 750 ml. bottle sampled @Modeste 2014. We let Roland from De Dochter van de Korenaar taste this one & he mentioned a long list of imperfections & got rid of this one. Uli was anything but a fan either. I do understand them because even if I’m not that good at naming brewing errors, this does not taste in any way imaginable as a Dubbel, weird barley wine is maybe what I would go for if I head to guess the style. This doesn’t seem okay either to me. Either way dark amber, orange with no head. Nose sis sweet orange, strange spices, orange, something bit off. Taste is lightly tart, caramel, vanilla, weird off flavours, sweet sugar, yeasty, honey, boozy,… Fizzy. Drinks still but not too good.

750 c&c from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Batch 008. Opened with a decent pop, releasing a plummy cloud of vapor. Pours copper with a 4 finger frothy head. Aroma is something like plum, raisin cake and treacle. Med body. Flavor is treacle, raisin, plum/prune and a hint of chocolate. Certainly not dry, but it’s within a tolerable range of treacle. I’m of two minds about it, but it makes me eager to try something like a tripel. Likin this!

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes candy sugar, malt, yeast, and dark dried fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of spices among them cardemomme, dried fruits, yeast, candy sugar, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcoholic and spicy finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours a clean deep copper with a lacing off-white head. Explosive cork but didn’t gush. Sweet caramellish nose, some overripe fruit notes. Rich body of sweet overripe fruit, a little rustic and oxidized, but pleasantly so. Some warming alcohol. A nice Belgian, but nowhere near a Dubbel in style. 250113
