I guess it's winter! Caramelly thing, little bit toasty, and slightly heavy. Lots of Belgiany flavours, some wheat and clove, bit of laurel, and mostly plenty of sticky sweet caramel. Thanks Thijs!

Dark amber color. Medium sized head with brownish border. Aromas of roasted malt, ripe banana, spices. Medium plus body with sweet taste (caramel, toffee). Finishing where some bitterness takes over the sweet tones. Ok, but not very convincing.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', bottled in October 2018. Clear, ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, plums and some molasses. Quite sweet, malty, slightly fruity taste of caramel, molasses, raisins, prunes and a touch of chocolate, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Decent Winter Warmer, quite simple but pleasant and saturating.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Dark brown with an off-white head and lots of unsightly floaties. Malty spicy aroma, some light licorice, some cinnamon. Taste is rather sweet with a thick cloying body. Really nice, ever so slightly boozy, doppelbock.
