(Draught at Delirium Tap Bar, Brussels, 18 Oct 2015) Golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, sweet malt and spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with tropical fruit, dried pineapple, candy sugar, sweet malt and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

250 ml bottle, from Prima Beer. BB date 2. Sept. 2015. ABV is 8.5%. Murky brown colour, moderate off-white to beige head. Aroma of malts, dust, damp basement, caramel, mold. The flavour is better than the aroma: fairly sweet and malty, notes of brown kandij sugar and caramel, dark dried fruits, a hint of mild spices. Slightly warming mouthfeel.

Clear but deep ruby brown color, nice two finger beige creamy head, diminishing slowly till thin layer with yeast islets remains, good lacing. Complex aroma, dark malts, dried fruits (dates, raisins), caramel, plums, wine gums, ginger and cinnamon notes. Taste light heavy to medium sweet, slightly bitter, dark fruits, toffee, light ginger and pepper. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, in the sweet (but not sugary) aftertaste some light bitterness, ginger and pepper notes, bit of wood. Very good Dubbel indeed.
