As Dubbel Frambozen & bosbessen Good cream-coloured head over red-shot opaque brown beer. Fruity, chocolate, dry wood, cardboard, and lots of dark malts. Fruitiness is present in the nose, if demure. Chocolate with a slight, short acidity, that turns to berries - raspberry in particular - retronasal. Bit sweet, the fruitflavour even enhancing this. Good carbonation, bit slick, medium bodied, with a medium length aftertaste. I think it might benefit from a more generous fruitgift, as well as some more acidity, maybe enhanced by the carbonation. It's still very much tasting Dobbelman. Txs to Frédéric! Was: 6.5/4/7/3.5/13

as Rood Weiler 75cl Huge cream-pink head, irregular, over deep dark brown beer. Wood, plywood and leaves. Raspberry, blueberry, blackberry. Dry-light bitterish, but mainly sweet-malty, almost as milk chocolate with raspberry ganache. Well bodied, very slick to viscous, good carbonation. Bettered version of the berried dubbel sampled earlier. Whereas that lacked a bit of fruit, this time we agreed that what was missing was lactic acid - making it a fruit Oud Bruin with way more complexity.

Towering, thick-set, just off-white head, fed by very liverly carbonated, fully hazy golden beer, leaving textbook lace. Quite spicy nose - we get coriander, though not in the ingredients' list, and quite some at that. Fake citrus. Bitterish to bitter, faintly metallic and spicy - which, again, seems coriander; citrus. Quite slick, very carbonated, light body. Sorry guys, this is a bit too cliché, the hops are too crude, and either can't compete, or otherwise contribute to the coriander imprint. Txs to Fred!

Donker bruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is krachtig en licht bitterzoet met duidelijk iets van whiskey, chocolade, wat karamel en wat gedroogd fruit zoals pruimen en bramen. Heel goed!
