Bottle as a Christmas present from Elke - many thanks! Hazy dark amber-brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of dried apple, banana, rainwater, clove, coriander, liquorice, caramel, toast, mocha. Taste has sweetish fig, apple & banana, sourish coriander along herbal & spicy notes (liquorice, clove) over a toasty malt base. Herbal hoppy finish, bit metallic, quite dry, lingering liquorice & dried fruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Recommended, not-too-sweet Dubbel (or Dark Ale for that matter).

The second beer by Huisbrouwerij Fienneke, a quiet and small 'bierfirma' in Beveren locally known for Fientje, a fine hoppy blonde brewed at first Bryggja and now Danny. This one too was brewed at Danny and is dedicated to the 'Puitenslagers' legend of Beveren, roughly translating to 'frog slayers'; a local yearly festivity keeps this legend alive and it makes sense for a hyper-local brewery like Fienneke to use this tradition as a source of inspiration. Thanks to Peter, the brewer, for sharing! Pale yellowish beige, mousy, slowly opening head on a misty dark caramel brown beer with mahogany hue. Aroma of brown bread, bubblegum, caramel candy, walnuts, diluted coffee powder, dried fig, cloves, nutmeg, minerals. Dried-fruity onset, old raisin, apple peel and dried banana notes, medium carbonated with hard-caramelly, brown-bready and lightly toasty-bitter malt body adorned with nutmeg- and clove-like spicy notes, a dash of coriander seed (adding light soapiness) and late herbal hop bitterness accentuated by the bitterish edge of the malts. Finishes medium long, malty and mildly spicy; a dryish, bit roasty dubbel like many other 'new' dubbels created by small local microbrewers in the Low Countries these days; traditional but technically well done and enjoyable, like its blonde predecessor.
