At Zythos 2017. Pours unclear brown with a fine foam. Aroma is nutty caramel, lots of brown malts. Body is medium, quite sweet, but and caramel flavours, almost like a brown ale. Little bitterness, crisp but low carbonation. Good balance, a bit too sweet and nutty on the palate. Good.

Donkerbruin bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is licht zoet en licht bitter met iets van rook, karamel, mokka en chocolade.

A blonde and a tripel need a dubbel, so here it is - bottle from Willems in Grobbendonk. Thick and frothy yet regulary shaped, pale yellowish white, quite tightly structured head leaving a ’membrane’ of lacing around the glass; initially almost clear, deep but fully translucent chestnut brown robe with vermillion red tinge. Quite atypical, ’rural’ and even downright weird (for a dubbel) aroma of slowly cooked green cabbage (but not in the DMS way), fermenting garden weeds, fresh fig, unripe gooseberry, dry manure (strongly so at first but decreasing after a while), tomato concentrate, eggplant, sweet gherkin, raw broccoli, caramel, vegetable soup, dried plum somewhere, fresh ginger, freshly cut grass, fermenting tree leaves on a damp autumn forest floor. Restrained dried fruit sweetness and sourness in the onset, hints of old dried plums, red apple peel and unripe gooseberry, more sourish than sweet but actually quite well-balanced, fizzy carbo, minerally touches here and there, smooth mouthfeel coarsened a bit by the relatively strong fizziness. Caramelly malt sweetness ensues with a sharper grainy edge to it, evolving into a very lightly toasted accent delivering a very subtle bitterishness; the finish adds a herbal, earthy, slightly grassy hop bitterness as well as bready, earthy yeast impressions, but the moderately sweetish maltiness gets the last word. Unusual beer: I accept this as a dubbel, being more dry and restrained than a quadrupel (which is probably the next thing this predictable brewery will do), but in that Belgian ale subclass, this holds a somewhat idiosyncratic position, in being way too ’green’ and raw vegetable-like than is normally the case. Quite alright from a technical point of view, but less sweet and malty than expected. I kind of like it when beers seriously try to adhere to 20th century Belgian ale standards - and then fail at this, unwillingly creating a personality of its own, because that is very likely what happened here. Actually not bad, all things considered, and deviating from the - in this case either Westmalle Dubbel or Leffe Brune - standard like this one does, is what made Belgium to such an influential country in the international craft beer movement we are all basking in now. This beer has its flaws, I know, but I like its quirkiness - more so than I like the stereotypical character of the otherwise flawless tripel in this series.

Bottle thx to Benzai, dated 26-03-16, medium sample. Slight hazy copper color, short frothy head. Aroma is slight spicy, some caramel, bit chocolate cookie, slight vanilla. Bit sweet in taste, cookie, choc, quite spicy, cinnamon, speculaas. Not too bad, even when im not a fan of these spiced up belgian ales.
