(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber with a tall, handsome and rather stable yellowish head. Fruity, lightly bubblegumish nose. Huge, solid body with a lot of caramel and fruit. Very aromatic hoppy finish. Great beer. 270106

I love dubbels but this beer is a total failure at being one. A brown beer with an unpleasant sweet potato aroma. Only a hint of malt. Don’t bother.

12 oz bottle-pours an off white head. Color is amber. Tastes malty, good carbonation. Finishes slightly bitter.

I have not been much of a fan of the beers I have had from this brewer in the past, but this is the first I have stopped to rate. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a mahogany color with a small creamy tan head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a chocolate element. The flavor is rich and sweet and has a strong chocolate note. Not a bad brew, but really does not taste much like a dubbel to me.

2005 bottle at Mondial, 6/5/05. Pour is a tangerine-orange, mixed with pale white golds and straw yellows. Smattering of lightly foamy white head, recedes quickly to cover, with a touch of lacing, albeit very small. Body has a slight chill haze to it. Aroma grants a bit of malt sweetness, with a slight tinge of sourish wheat, bits of honey dough and lightly sweet orange-hibiscus tea. Passing earthy tones could be called lightly funky, but it is more earthy and dusty. Flavor begins with light, sweet citrus notes, honey and slightly chewy malt and wheat. Yeast delivers Belgian character, though you arent going to mistake this for Blaugies. . .Body is medium, with low carbonation, lightly peppery at times. Ends with a farmy and citrusy mix of hops and yeast, light bits of malt sticking to the palate. Touches of dough and yeast linger on the finish. Interesting and quite refreshing, but it’s still not the real thing, so I think.

Clear copper with moderate lacing - woody aroma with a hint of bitterness - pretty average flavor, nothing special - actually, it kind of tastes like a so-so homebrewed ESB - nothing worth having more than once.

on tap-a nice golden color. A white head that reduced to minimal. Aroma-hoppy, flavor-hoppy. Towards crisp/dry. Not complex, nice.

Medium amber with sticky, lasting lace - inviting aroma of belgian sugars, light fruits, mustiness and spice - a nice balance of tartness and sweetness in the flavor, with some light fruitiness, some apple, pear - lingering cloves and caramel - Middle of the road for the style, but still quite tasty.

Nearly black pour with nearly no head - mildly sweet aroma with brown sugar, coffee, some cookie/pastry-ish smell - very roasty flavor, some sweetness up front, some plum and chocolate - smooth mouthfeel - a very solid porter, but it doesn’t really stand out.
