Green bottle... one of the most uninviting bottle appearacnes I’ve seen. Pour is incredibly light with some floaties and a massive head that it takes a bunch of patience to let die down to get it all in one glass. Aroma is a bit off, but there is a nice clove smell underneath, and as it sits, this is becoming a dominant scent. Flavor is another matter... very light and somewhat bland with a cloves note as the dominant characteristic. Some bread flavor shows that the grain is definitely there and maybe some banana/fruit sweetness to add to the mix, but fairly dull. Good, but dull.

A hazy orange beer with a thin light orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of dusty hops, over ripe fruits and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - especially peaches, yeast, dusty hops, and alcohol, leading to a spicy end, which gives way to an alcohol burn.

Green 11.2 oz bottle. Slightly skunky aroma apon cracking the lid, however it was not offensive like some american beer skunk I’m familiar with. Once over that, it has the smell of any other wit. Pours really cloudy in my steeler stein with lots of things in there floating around. In the bottom of the bottle was a thick yeasty paste. The look is not as refined as hogaarden and is a little darker. Very good initial flavor and it is creamy in both texture and appearance. At first I thought I detected an ever so slight bitterness on the finish but perhaps not. No lingering aftertaste, just plain refreshing. Pretty good price too, only $1 at the beer store in Boardman Ohio.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a dark amber with a slight haze and a creamy, off-white head. Complex aroma of overripe fruit. Full-bodied with delicious accents of marzipan and overripe fruit. Some caramel also. Very lovely, but not really a Dubbel. 170406

Deep chestnut-red beer; very creamy, beige head. Sweet, but especially malty nose, like fresh malts in the brewery. Saccharine sweet, but once again, extremely malty, grainy and bready, and a pinch of acidity at the end. Slick, not empty, but of course bit watery texture. This is the stuff to raise children upon - children that will be beertasters later. Pity about the saccharine, but the whole smells like a working German brewery. Heavy praise for such thing indeed.

Clear orange-amber beer with heavy pearling; small but consistent off-white head, leaving some lace. Alcohol, slightly burnt candi sugar, little bit of toffee; arachide and laurel. Generally sweetish to sweet nose. Burnt sugar again, not sweet this time. Bitterish without hops. There’s a slightly cloying retronasal taste that is just not sweet, just a wee bit malty. Markedly almondy warming up. Quite watery texture, reverting to more grist fill-in and a harsh burnt aftertaste. I’m sorry, but I just don’t dig the St. Gummarus twins.
