A 33 cl bottle coming from Etre Gourmet this summer. Time now for a tasting. I pull the lid and tilt into my Straffe Hendrik tulip glass. The appearance is amber-brown with a steadily rebuilt skim of tawny brown foam. I can detect a nose of ripe fruit and whole grain bread. Move on to the drink and I’m glad I did. A little different with a floral aura, dates, grain, malt, syrup and rind perhaps. Points for attempting something not ordinary.

My first dubbel to rate in a long time, they’re so hard to find in the states. This 33 cl was delivered by responsive Etre Gourmet, thanks. I have a Karbach tall beer glass for this sampling and see a golden brown liquid with a decent head of yellow-tan foam. The smell is roasty, dark fruit and grain. With a drink I get an interesting mix of plums, coal, malt and whole grain bread. The smoke tends to drown out the other flavors, not a good thing for a dubbel in my opinion.
