.75L bottle. Pours a hazy gold w/some lace. Lots and lots of bubbles, wow. Aroma is coriander & citrussy, as is the taste. Not to shabby.

Boca 0,75l - kupljeno u Eurospinu - malo jače karbonizirano, lijepa pjena s minimalnim lacingom na čaši. Fora spicy okus s malo voća, taman i suho i slatko, dovoljno gorčine. Ugodno iznenađenje iz Eurospina

I was sceptical about another Gordon's beer but this one is quite pleasant. Also thought that would be another gingerbread or whatever Christmas slop. Dark copper colour. Generous beige head. Medium sweet. Caramel,malts, dried fruits. Average body. Not like the ones I tried in Edinburgh but quite alright

Large foamy white head on an unclear vivid golden coloured body.
Zesty & malt aroma.
Medium to full bodied, soft with a sharp back.
Malt, spiced orange & biscuit tastes with a hoppy finish.
Cracking well balanced Belgian IPA.

330ml bottle. Pours a misty yellow, white head. Lightly floral wit nose. Flavour profile presents a somewhat middle-of-the-road wit.. not bad I suppose, a touch spicy, floral in character.. ok.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. It pours clear brown with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, toasty, might malt, malt loaf, cocoa powder, chocolate bourbon biscuits and some nuttiness. The taste is crisp upfront, dry, toasty grains, chocolate bourbons, nutty, praline, cocoa powder, nip of booze, quite raw and heady, Horlicks and malt loaf with a toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. It's ok, nice elements to it, but a bit rough around the edges.

Bottle at home. Clear dark golden color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, oddly herbal and spicy, quite bitter for a dubbel. Meh. Not very good.

Bottle. Nose is chocolate, hint of candy floss, marzipan, slightly marshmallowy. Taste is woody, catering chocolate, lots of marzipan, sugar almond, hints of hazelnut. A woody lightly bitter finish stops it being cloying.

It's a bit of a mess, the base beer seems OK, but it tastes like flavouring gloop and syrup poured in rather than a beer brewed with adjuncts. Tastes a little bit how vapes smell, with too bright flavours and no depth,
