Bottle. Edition 2018. Color: Reddish brown. Long lasting dense beige head, just a very litle bit darker than the original Dubbelbock (compared side by side). Aroma: Malt, caramel, hints of Bourbon and wood. Taste: Malty, caramel notes, pretty subtle sweetish notes of Bourbon and hints of wood. Hints of red fruit, moderate hopbitterness. Overall pretty malty. Moderate to medium sweet. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Side by side comparison with traditional Dubbelbock: The subtle Bourbon and wood notes surely do add some extra flavours and a little complexity to this beer and deminish the lingering caramel taste of the original Dubbelbock. But overall it still is far less interesting as most Bourbon flavoured beers. It's an interesting development that Brand makes a low cost Bourbon flavoured beer for the mass, as this beer is widely spread at Dutch supermarkets at low price, but not that interesting for real Beer Geeks. I even don't rate this beer higher but just the same as the original one.
