Süßlicher Antrunk, der schnell in ein säuerliches Aroma wechselt. Im weiteren Verlauf hopfig, im Nachgeschmack recht alkoholisch. Nichts besonderes. PS: Der Zeichner, dem der Engel auf der Flasche zu verdanken ist, sollte geköpft werden. Test vom 15.2.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 14,9,8,7,7,8 - 8,55

Huge, yellow-brown head, dense and firm as whipped cream; opaque dark red-brown beer. Dry, woody nose, green leaves aromas. Dry, nonsweet dark malts and ambrée malts, caramel & toffee. Liquorice flavour without sweetness, unidimensional dark malts taste, empty. Flavour like extremely watery black tea. Like chewing a totally out-chewed branch of liquorice. Impossible combination of a thick malty texture and a totally empty palate. Certain slickness, dry and - did I mention empty? "Boring" is much too good for this. It is not revolting. In fact, I’m at my wits’ end. This is supposed to be the same as Affligem dubbel, and as Postel bruin. They couldn’t be more different, all three of them.

A hazy orange beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet spicy combined with notes of caramel, the flavor is primarily sweet and spicy. Nice but still middle of the road. Thanks to Carlo (Lachesis) for this one.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark amber, close to being brown. Large, off-white head. Some sweetish, slightly chocolatey malt-notes. Perhaps also a hint of licorice. Very smooth and delicious. A nice dubbel, although it’s just a supermarket-brand. 160696

(Bottle 33 cl) Yellowish golden, decent fluffy head. Slightly flowery, fresh nose. Lots of carbonation but little malt or hops for that matter. Still a pleasant very drinkable blonde ale - although it lacks som refinement. 030695
