Solid Double with lots of caramel aroma and flavor. Flavor is very sweet and lots of malt. Pretty decent.

750 ml bottle. Dark brown head, yellowish head. Sweet candy flavor. A very nice beer.

Draught: pretty yeasty in the aroma, the flavor is quite sweet, not rich, some sour notes, some caramel, some honey and some dark fruits and some malt. An ok beer.

Draught. Dark red color with a medium light brown head. Aroma of malt, caramel, some plum, some spices. Sweet malty flavor. Medium-bodied. A nice dubbel.

750ml Bottle: Medium sweet aroma. Smells very malts with hints of roasting, caramel, raisin, and hazelnuts. Poured brown in color with a large, creamy, tan head that lasted throughout. Very cloudy with many floating particles. Flavor is quite sweet. Tastes of roasted malts, caramel, nuts, and raisins. Full body. Thick texture. Soft carbonation. Long, sweet, sugary finish. Overall, way too sweet and malty.

Bottle, 33 cl. Brown color with a large light brown head. Aroma malts, caramel, ... Taste sweet and malty, yeasts. Medium body.

This would be perfect if there was just some stronger flavor. Aroma was strong. Dark fruit and yeast. Pour was a beautiful dark brown with a puffy off white head. Much yeast in the bottle which is a plus in my book. Taste was dark fruit, yeast and malt. Chocolate in the aftertaste. Only complaint is it was a little light bodied. The taste didn’t "go all the way". It stops at the half way mark, but is still great. I dunno...makes sense to me.

Bottle. Brown colour, creamy yellowish head. Chocolate and yeasty aroma. Roasted malts flavours together with some fruits. Good carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Nice enough.
