A spiced belgian Dubbel, ideal for the dark winter months. Made with a blend of Belgian malts, lightly spiced with allspice and fermented with a blend of yeast strains, this is an intensely fruity, spicy brew.

Bottle at the Twisted Barrel tap room, 04/02/17. Light hazed on an amber pour with a generous off white head. Nose is candied fruit peel, spice, cinnamon, French toast, brown sugar. Taste comprises candy floss, biscuit, toffee, white peppery spice, clove, fruit loaf. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of alcohol. Decent Belgian affair.

Overactive beige head immediately disappeared leaving a fizzing time bomb of red oak liquid. Woody, syrup aroma. thin as water on the palate - feels like a sparkling sweet juice. Then the taste............ over sweet, over spiced with false flavours. Absolutely diabolical.

Keg from Twisted Barrel Brewery Tap, Coventry, Friday 29th April 2016 Pours dark brown in colour with an off-white head Lots of dark candi sugar, warming, alcohol shows but never intrudes. A little spicy, but good, I like this, ok it may be a tiny bit thin at the back end but it is good. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6
