Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a tulip glass. Clear deep ruby brown colour, tall moussy off-white head, dissipating slowly, almost no lacing. Aroma toasted malts, caramel, light citrus, sugar syrup, some molasses. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, caramel, some molasses and liquorice, light spicy notes. Medium body, oily texture, bit prickly mouthfeel, soft carbonation, malty sweetbitter aftertaste, some coffee groundings, spicy notes, not really your typical dubbel, more like a mild strong ale, nice but not that impressive.

Je ne vois pas ce que cette bière a à voir avec la Belgique ! Et double de quoi? Mystère...En dehors de ces considérations, cette débauche est particulière notamment de par sa proposition aromatique autour du caramel, des herbes, de la réglisse et de zest d'oranges. La structure est également singulière, relativement houblonnée, ce qui lui amène de la fraîcheur, mais sur une base douce et avec un alcool à 7 % s'intégrant mal et quelque peu dissonant de fait. Le visuel est sur un ambré foncé, quasi bronze avec de grosses bulles grossières. Le nez met la part belle à l'amertume des herbes et du caramel, et dans une moindre mesure, l'alcool qui se fait ressentir avec réglisse et zest d'orange. L'ensemble est réellement très typé et pas foncièrement à mon goût. Sur l'attaque des épices bien présentes se font ressentir en complément des arômes du nez, et toujours sur cette fraîche amertume. La texture est fine. La deuxième est à l'identique avec une complexité honorable et une corpulence honnête. L'arrière bouche est davantage sur un alcool s'intégrant mal. Le final, moyennement long et plus basique sur l'amertume. Où est la Belgique? Publicité mensongère !
