Bottle from Sandersput, Ninove. Impressions of raw liquorice, prune, raisin, chicory, fondant, mocha, tobacco. Taste has sweet prune, raisin & pear; quite herbal & spicy in a toasty malt body with a roasted hint of chicory coffee. Herbal hoppy finish, more dried fruit, toast and warming brown rum-like alcohol. Pleasant revisit of this oddly named 'Extra Dubbel'; still very much recommended. (Updated 21/06/2022)
Original rating:
29 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Hazy dark brown, almost black, with a small, foamy, tan head. Strong aroma of raisin, candied banana, light roasted malt, caramel, licorice, some coffee roast & chocolate. It tastes medium to heavy malty sweet with chocolate & caramel notes, and light roasted bitter. Dry, more toasty finish with herbal hops and warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy/syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. A Quad without a doubt, and a well-made one too.
