Backlog January 2010. Unclear ale yellow golden body under a creamy white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy like salvia. Taste is sweet but refreshing, spicy like aroma and hint of citric fruit. Medium body and same aftertaste. Feels a bit unbalanced at the first sips (small sample) but giving it a bit time to settle it gets more balanced, an interesting take on the style.

Backlog January 2010. Unclear amber body under a huge, creamy off-white head. Aroma has malt and slightly burnt caramel. Taste is sweet, light toasted, caramel and brown sugar. Fine body and same aftertaste. Decent, classic Belgium dubbel and rather sweet of course.

Backlog January 2010. Pale golden body under a nice, creamy white head. Not very elegant in aroma, feels like white sugar and herbs. Taste is a bit better, but still too sweet with pale malt, spices and white sugar and a hint of candy. Medium body and same sweet candy finish.

Thick set, dense, foxy cream head over fully opaque brown beer. Whisky (and some phenols) obvious in the nose; further bread, cardboard, aromatic herbs, fusels. Brown bread, brown sugar, dark green herbs, whisky. Bitter(ish) with a sweet alcoholic undertone. Some chocolate obviously, pralines , rosewater, wood and ever so slightly peppery finish. Bit fiery MF with alcoholburn, light alcoholthinning, still pretty chewy and viscous. Good carbonation. Classic one, whisky in the front. But not really innovative.

Label shows no indication of De Graal, but claims to be from Goldstar. Yet another brewing company to afraid to admit they didnt brew it themselves ? Sigh... sold as a local beer from Sint Truiden, go figure. The beer pours dark, unclear orange. medium sized, frothy white head. Smell is typically Belgian yeast, mild metallic note almost. Bready, rather intense maltyness. Taste is full, tad bitter, malty, BE yeast. Medium fullbodied, medium carbo.
