| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with large lively beige head. Usual dubbel character but with a little balsamic vinegar sweetness. Not bad, drinkable but not tummy banana inducing for the style. MiP (9065), Sønderborg, Denmark

Small frothy unstable tan head. The flavour is fruity, nutty and sweet. Tastes OK, but is much too weak for the ABV. plovmand (1642), Helsinge, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 19, 2008 Updated: Dec 20, 2008Yellowy beige collar on deep ruby. Clinging lace until the last. Nose wafting enticingly with sticky malt loaf bock notes, tobacco, milk chocolate, prune, overripe mouldering apple, black cherry, hazelnut and locust bean (?), mouth moving through fig and demerara, toasty dark malts, puff of smoke, slight cardboard graininess, distant cigar, liquorice, ending up bittersweet but mostly sweet with a nutty praline linger. Crumb of marzipan. Quite fat and slightly viscous. Just a trace of something chocolate or coffee substitute-like I’m not sure about. Chiccory or liquorice? Desiccated papery old tobacco and malt peatiness. Lactic traces with slight babysick and locust bean notes on the nose now, and resiny evergreen. Alcohol not there. On balance, I like it and its technically good, but lacking a spark of Belgian magic (yeast?). Theres better Dubbels out there...
