(IF I got the explanation right, the bottled beer, which I drank under the name of Pijtje, is the same as West Volen, served on draught at Wildeman a.o.) Red brown, fully hazy; thin but persistent yellowish head. Sweet-sour nose, vanilla, oakwood, brown candi sugar, mint and fruity esters. Sweet taste, slightly sourish. Very fruity (banana, overripe plums, almonds,...) A certain flavour of sour milk. And bay leaf/laurel. A definite burning sensation; both alcohol, acids and ? fruit?. very well-bodied. It's quite OK, appropriately fruity and reasonably complex. But it ain't just anywhere in the Westvleteren league - from where the yeast hails.

(Draught) Deep dark brown; slim rim of darkish foam. Woody nose, alcoholic, and some faint undefinable spices. Sweet taste with molasses but with an herbal flavour touch. Thyme? Light MF surprising for the style. Yet syrupy texture, and heavily carbonated on the verge of fizzy, despite the little head. The alcohol comes out of hiding. A deceptive beer - it starts hiding its strength and its filling capacities. I had to go slow on this one.

The aroma is nicely spicy. The color is dark orange with particles floating around - it has a fine off-white head. The flavor is sweet, yeasty with an OK bitter end. A nice flavor.

Bottled. A very lively beer when opened. The aroma is sweet caramel with spices. The color is an unclear brown with a fine light brown head, though fast disappearing. The flavor is slightly smoked, woody and with notes of tar. A really nice dubbel.

Sampled at Utrechts Bokbierfestival Perfect nut-brown color, with beautiful lacing (this one looked the best i've seen at the festival). Hmm, not more notes, just the perfect appearance on my ratingsheet...sorry :-S
