33 cL bottle, thanks to MiP. Pours slight hazy yellow with a little white head. Light fruity, light citrus, and mild yeasty aroma. Caramel malt and yeast flavour, mellow yet slight sweet towards a fruity note in the finish. Ends with a lingering yeast flavour.

Smallish offwhite head. Hazy amber body with fast carbonation. Fruity, yeasty wild berry aroma with yoghurty notes, somewhat artificial. Dry yoghurty wooden wild berry taste, again somewhat artificial. Mouthfeel a little watery. Aftertaste is much the same. Disappointing, and not really very enjoyable. (0.33l bottle at Cardinal.)

[i] [b] Bottle shared at Vale Brewery 31-01-08 [/i] [/b] Poured dark brown with off white frothy head, didn’t get to try much of this but what I did was most enjoyable, chocolate ran through this as did some vanilla, sweet malts on the nose, a tasty beer.

[i] [b] Bottle kindly passed onto me from Vale Brewery 31-01-08 [/i] [/b] Bottle hazy golden pour, ginger is in evidence straight away, although this beer is also quite sweet, but then you notice that there is a nice spiciness to this and the yeast also pitches in but its unmistakeably a ginger beer albeit a slightly sweetish one, I liked this beer.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, bronze colour with a mid-sized, light-beige foamy head. Sweet, slightly yeasty and moderately toasty malt aroma with a touch of chocolate, also restrained fruity and quite spicy, partly ethereally (peppermint). Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a medium carbonation. Yeasty, slightly toasted malty taste with notes of chocolate, spicy phenols and shy fruity notes; quite short, sweet-bitter and toasty finish. Likeable (29.01.08).

(33cl bottle) Cloudy, yellow colour with loads of floaties and a fluffy foamy white head. Slightly sweet malty nose with light citrus fruits, rather strong spicy coriander notes and a distinctive lemony hoppy background. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Soft pale malt character, slightly yeasty and moderately spicy with citrus-fruity hops; quite dry fruity and hop bitter finish. Well-rounded hoppy Tripel.

330 ml stubby bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. BB 0608. ABV is 6.5%. Refermented in the bottle. Copper coloured beer (clear first, cloudy when the yeast is poured in the end), large tan head with an orangey hue. Very nice aroma of spices, candi sugar, yeast and raisins. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately spicy with some caramel and toffee, lacks hops. The finish is kind of "empty", relatively light bodied for its strength. Still a nice and drinkable dubbel, but could have been better.

Hazy golden with huge lasting head. Orange peel, yeast and flowers dominates the aroma. Flavor is sweet and yeasty with malt and spicy notes. Somewhat perfurmy. Alcohol is well hidden and it ends dry
