Dubbel - in a series of two beers named after the mythical snake eating its own tail as a reference to the cyclic nature of the world - flavoured with 'local herbs' (sadly undisclosed) and brewed at BCB. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Moussey, medium thick, pale greyish beige, opening head on a dark chestnut brown robe with burgundy-reddish glow. Aroma of brown bread dough, Ersatz chocolate, banana peel, raisin, stewed apple, old herbarium, something meaty, blue plum, nutmeg and something oddly 'green' (ground ivy?) probably representing the local herb. Fruity, rounded onset, sweet, bit sourish and simple, softly carbonated; hints of raisin, banana and pear, not bubblegummy or otherwise 'unnatural' though. Slick caramelly and brown-bready core, thinly sliced sourdoughy sourishness underneath, lingering dark fruit notes (blue plum again) and a floral to herbal hop bitterish element providing balance and even extending quite long into the finish. Toasty and spicy flavours remain - I guess I will never know what that 'local herb' is, but what is the point anyway of advertising an ingredient in such a way without telling us what it is? Anyway, generally speaking this is a fairly solid, but unsurprising and 'tame' dubbel.

Bottle at home. Clear golden / copper color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, light yeast, firm bitterness. Okay.

330ml bottle @ Tim's place, Gent. Pours a misty blonde, pure white head. Robust hop bitterness to the fore with a mild spicy temperament, gentle yeast presence. Ok overall.
