Yellow-brown head, fast gone; cloudy orange-brown beer. Strange nose, reminiscent of deep-frying fat & pickles; must be some acid here - fatty acids? Dark malts obvious. Sweet and sourish taste; grains, wood, point of (I think lactic) acid; bready finish. Sticky MF, well bodied, certain tartness. OK dubbel-brown, just not very exciting.

(Bottle 50 cl) Yellowish golden with a nice, dense head. Starts malty sweet but quickly gets drier to end on a hoppy finish. 021199

(Bottle 33 cl) The good people at "Belgisk Bryg", Lars and Gert, warned me: "This is insanely sweet", they said. And even by Belgian standards, they are SO right. Fully golden, slightly hazy beer with a tall, creamy head. Obvious ale-character, but actually I don’t taste a lot besides the sticky sweetness. Apparently brewed with flowers and plants, but it can’t be the only sources for the sweetness. 090704

(Bottle 33 cl) A golden ale which is reasonably clear until I pour the sediment. Then the color is grey-orange. Very aromatic, along the style of a "Triple" or a paler trappist like Orval. Spicy and refined with quite a lot of sweetness which is at the same time rather discreet. Quite nice. 110304

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden with a huge head. Lightly bitter with an underlying sweetness. More full-bodied than most tripels - and even more potent. Not bad at all. 061094

Amber-red colour. Appley, caramelly aroma. Chewy, sweet, caramelly flavour. Very simple profile. Hardly any yeast character to speak of and no hops.

(Bottle 75 cl) Rather pale golden, typical blond ale, slightly hazy. Decent head. Yeast in both nose and flavour with a very subdued bitterness. Pronounced carbonization - way too much actually. A rather dull Belgian ale. Brewed for a Pacific NW import company. 070505

Bottle Creamy, off-white head, which diminishes totally. Good lace. Hazy, amber body. Nuts, caramel, flowers in the nose. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish. Medium bodied.

Dutch Ratebeer Meeting, I must have tasted this one, although the other guys probably did not fill my glass, because i can’t remember drinking this...

Hazy amber colour. Fruity (mainly cherry) aroma, a little bit woody as well. Candyish character, a little grapey. Sweetish with a hint of sour. A little on the fizzy side.
