Pours dark brown with a large off-white head.Nose shows treacle and bready malt along with some floral hops. Pretty hoppy actually, especially for the style, but still nice.Flavours are similar but less sweet and with more doughy, bready yeast. Finishes kinda weak.Body is watery, especially considering the rich flavours.

Pours pale yellow with a lasting small head.Heavy grassy hops dominate the aroma at first, followed by doughy Belgian yeast and soft phenols.No sign of those hops as a flavour, just bready, grainy malt and the doughy yeast. Finishes with a weak metallic bitterness.Carbonation is too high by far.

Location: Draft at Moeder Lambic, 8/11/10
Aroma: Light roast, slightly sweet, some maltiness, some caramel
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a nice beige head
Flavor: The taste is pretty malty, some roasted sweetness to it
Palate: This one drinks really nicely, it has a decent mouthfeel to it
Overall Impression: I liked this one. A Dubbel with a nice roasted malt flavors that just seems to work pretty well. I like this beer. A good example of the style.

Bottle: Amber coloured, small off-white head; moderate but distinctive hoppy nose with a malty and fruity background; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; sweetish malty finish with a slightly lingering hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good....

Aroma is of wood and hay. Pours with a small head, and a foggy bright yellow body. Tastes like fermented grass, some nuttiness. Uncomplex and not refreshing. Watery finish. Not my glass of beer, in fact none of the Witkap Paters caught my fancy.

Pours dark amber-brown with little head. Aroma of spicy barley and malts. Taste is a watery mix of barley, grass, hay, and alcohol. Weak on the palate. Not impressive to me.

Very good head on top of a light gold colour. Has a heavy hops aroma with some barley. The flavour is odd, grassy with barley, very earthy and vegetable-like. Has a sweet finish with an insecticide aftertaste. It’s a strange mix of flavours that I found completely unappealing.
