Friday 1st Feb 2019; 7th Pre-Brugge Bier Festival International Beer Swap, De Bierboom. This is one of the many bottles that landed on my table for me to try, it is OK to take a decent sized sample (within reason) because there are so many beers to share. Red hue to the hazy dark brown body, beige head that tried to hang around. Sweet and malty throughout with an aroma that told you what to expect in the taste; caramel and milk chocolate. It was fine, but there are so many good Dubbel Beers in Belgium already, this one doesn't quiet reach the heights of those.

2 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to tderoeck, 77ships, Jerre, Kevin & Anke! Hazy dark brown with a lasting, thin, foamy, tan head; little lacing. Aroma of caramel, candy even, raisin, candied plum, dough, brioche, toast, peanuts, milk chocolate, licorice. Taste is medium to heavy malty sweet, quite some caramel backed by accents of candied fruit, dough & milk chocolate; light to medium herbal bitterness counters that dominant sweetness, vague hints of green tea & cinammon battling with a spicy & yeasty character (coriander, clove). Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, but maltiness prevails with caramel & candied fruit, and a dash of warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy to lively carbonation. Straightforward Belgian Dubbel that is agreeable to drink.

The follow-up to Remise Tripel, again huge thanks to the brewer for filling me up a bottle straight from tap and to Christine for keeping it aside for me. Irregularly shaped, moussy, bubbly, thinnish, pale greyish beige head, quickly dissolving in the middle but more or less stable on the edge, over a lightly hazy, very dark but still fully translucent burgundy brown beer with deep ruby red hue under bright light. Aroma of molten candi sugar, candied dates, caramel sauce, banana mush, wet earth, honey, treacle, chocolate milk diluted with rainwater, pear syrup, some solvents (wood glue, varnish), liquorice, freshly fermented farmland, soaking wet brown bread, raisins, ginger powder, coriander seed, hints of beef broth, 'jenever' and even vague brandy. Sweet onset as expected, residual candi sugar sweetness but not too cloyingly so (strangely less cloying than in the tripel), actually relatively well balanced with estery sweetishness (banana, peach, stewed blue plum) and a deeper, dim sourishness underneath; carbonation is soft, which obviously has to do with the fact that this bottle has not been conditioned the way a dubbel would traditionally have been in this country - but for once, this feels as a relief, as many bottle-conditioned Belgian dubbels are overcarbonated as a result, distracting from the real flavours (which isn't always a bad thing now that I come to think of it, but anyway). The brown sugariness lingers over a slick, bit resiny, very smooth and supple, caramelly and cereally, lightly bready malt sweet body in the middle, while spicy phenols are released (the old Belgian cloves again) and a fairly confident hop bitterish character develops, with a leafy, earthy and slightly floral character, supported by a slightly soapy coriander touch. After all this has passed, though, a 'jenever'-like alcohol effect remains, not as harshly so as in the tripel, but still a bit wry and obnoxious and a bit too much so for its own good - and for a 7% ABV beer in general. The earthy, soil- and even somewhat manure-like yeast effects remain hanging around in the nose as well, but after swallowing, a pleasant breadiness lingers too, back in the throat. Not a bad attempt as such: very, very classical and stereotypical of course, this is a dubbel that could have been brewed in the exact same manner forty years ago, but seen that this was the brewer's intention and this brewpub is not about innovation whatsoever, this passes, apart from a few points of criticism. Quite badly hidden alcohol is one of them (though not as dramatically so as in the tripel), the 'stinky' earthy notes in the nose is another - and a tad less residual brown sugar sweetness would probably be an improvement as well. Can be successful locally in the Beringen region I assume, but from a nation-wide perspective, this would doubtlessly go lost among countless of other, similar sweet and earthy dubbels.
