Tap at Craft Heads. Pretty sweet, lots of cherry, minimal Dubbel character, bit nutty. Fruit. Bit uninteresting.

Very aromatic, floral, peppery. Flavour is less intense but still very floral. Also a sweet fruitiness. Thin body. Interesting and not awful.

American craft dubbel with an experimental touch. Lacing, light yellowish beige head, ruby bronze colour, hazy. Aroma reveals an aniseed-like quality (rather than Szichuan pepper), caramel, brown bread, hazelnuts, dried banana, apricot. Clean fruitiness, sourish touch, bubblegum accent, resiny and somewhat ’woody’ mouthfeel due to the spice, which evolves to full glory in the finish, drying, and still more aniseed-like than Szichuan pepper-like. Interesting, but perhaps a bit too spicy for my personal taste.

Sample @ 6de Gents Bierfestival 2015. Cuivrée-brune, col fin beige. Arôme au bouquet frais rappelant un bouquet frais et agréable de lavande. Ce dernier se retrouve en dominance. Palais est plaisant, houblonné avec un côté citronné mais avec tjrs ce léger profil de lavande voire presque de thé vert. Niveau caractère, le tout est relevé par une levure d’inspiration belge d’abbaye. Le contraste est agréable et efficace.
