Bottle in De Bierboom, Brugge on 14th May 2018. Very sweet beer, but I liked it. Dark body, almost black, tanned head. Coffee flavours and aromas abound. Should have had this later, not at 12:00 lunchtime.

Coffee dubbel by Oosteke Brouwers, thanks tderoeck. Very thick, beige-tinged off-white, lacing, coarse head over a very dark, hazy chocolate brown beer with mahogany hue. Aroma of green coffee beans more than actual aromatic coffee, damp earth, moist caramel, cooked green cabbage (DMS) but not too overpowering, damp forest floor, fig, walnut, cold tea, apple peel. Fruity, estery onset, plum and fig notes with a dash of unripe banana, very sharply numbing overcarbonation, caramelly and bready malt body, yeasty finish with strong phenolic aspects which seem to be reinforced by that almost vegetable-like green coffee been presence, topped off with a herbal hop bitterishness and an earthy yeast aspect. Coffee stouts can be great, Belgian coffee dubbels so far do not seem to work all that good – at least not the examples I had, all suffering from off-flavours and a kind of ‘green’, vegetable-like coffee factor rather than the warming, delicate, aromatic qualities I associate with quality coffee, and a quality coffee beer. This one has a lot of room for improvement left as far as I’m concerned.

10/V/18 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent), shared with Alengrin @ Belgian ticks tasting (home) - BB: VIII/2019 (2018-686)
Pretty clear deep purple brown beer, big aery fizzy beige head. Aroma: very promising smell, lots of coffee, some chocolate, more coffee, roasted, green coffee beans, cocoa powder, some chlorine on warming up. MF: very lively carbon, too much to be enjoyable, medium body. Taste: little bitter, pretty roasted, very yeasty, some chlorine, malty. Aftertaste: grains, bit chemical, more chlorine, coffee, yeast, pretty unpleasant finish. Don't like this one.

Bottle from LDW, Eke. Dark brown/black colour, beige foam disappears quickly. Nose of roasted malts, espresso, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, light roasty, espresso notes. Balance is ok, nice drinkablity. Not a bad one from Oosteke Brouwers.

Bottle from Bierboom, Bruges. Thanks to Rudy for recommending. Shared with Anke.
Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, foamy, tan head; little lacing. Subtle aroma of walnut, (roasted) peanuts, roasted malt, coffee, yeast, caramel, herbs & spices, (brown) bread. Light herbal bitter onset, turning light to medium caramel-like sweet with hints of coffee, nuts & bread. Spicy, herbal, bit dry & bitter finish, very slightly metallic. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. A nice Belgian brown.

Pours dark, caramelly, clear brown, with a head that dies off instantly, but has been white, in it's short-lived life. Smell is coffee, rather green coffee, actually. almost peppery trough it's aroma. No real hoppy notes or fermentation profile to be found . Taste is sharp, bit bitter, phenolic, or is it only due to the coffee I get such a peppery, spicy backnote? Coffee is recognizable, too . It ain't too intense, it ain't bad too, but the basebeer underneath is so weak, that the remote intensity of the coffee, already makes the base loose all it's characteristics. Decent as a total whole, but the basebeer should be far more balanced and intense, to make this one truly work. some Diacethyl shows as it warms up.
