Bottled. Black pour lots of beige head. More of a fruity aroma. Roasted malts, some sourness, caramel. Not sure if something went wrong with this bottle or what but hard to finish this.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19;08/24. Deep chestnut brown with a light beige cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is stewed fruits, toffee, herb, nutty, candy bar, yeast tickle. Taste comprises tangy dried fruits, dates, herb, light funk, toffee, brown bread, vinous strains. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Not bad for a Dubbel ... carries a bitter bite about it and doesn't go silly sweet.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall tan head with a solid opaque brown glow - nice looking for the style. Aroma of roasted malt, candy sugar, a dash of caramelised sugars, some toffee, a good deal of earth and some softer nuts along with some subdued alcohol. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malt flavours dominate with a ton of caramelised sugars and a good deal of pitted fruits, with a lot of peat notes and a smooth bitterness, mainly from the earth, but also from some nuts, caramel and alcohol astringency. Aftertaste shows the sweetness at first with pitted fruits, alcohol, peated malt, grain and caramelised sugars along with some of the more noticeable nuts and earth flavours toward the end. Overall, a nice and respectful dubbel with a nice backbone, but also a solid complexity that has a good sugar, pit fruit and peated malt set of flavours. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at Busch Gardens (Germans Festhaus Tent) in Williamsburg, Virginia on 16-November-2019 for US$9,79.
