Nov 28, 2008 Recommended by the staff (Shadi) at the Waterhuis, this was a nice brown ale that was hoppier than most. Good choice.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, in the shrine-like miraculous basement at De Bierloods. Dark and dubbelish pour capped with creamy beige receding to a slick. Nose brazen Brett-like edge, Orvalish freshness peppered with pollen and floral hops. Rose, lily, lavender, farmyard. Trappist-like nuts and choc. Big yeast presence, blanket of horse. Chocolate, nuts, fresh bread. Slick dark Trappist character (Westmalle Dubbel?) with spontaneous touches. Got to get hold of another bottle of this.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, Harissoni]</b<
Pours a nice, red-brown with a medium, creamy, beige head. Aroma has lots of raisins, some oakiness, chocolate, plums and a great yeasty note. A good, frothy, lightly creamy, mouthfee - just a tad on the thin side, perhapsl. Flavour has good chocolate, yeast and a good deal of dried fruits. Nice.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottled, 330ml at Waterhuis aan de Bierkant, Ghent. Dark brown, black with cream head. Malty, sweetish beerreally quite fruity, with sucrose notes. Quite heavy on the palate with a little late hop. Not bad at all.

Apr 16, 2008 An interesting dubbel with nice hoppy character. Poured from 33 cL as Drongens Plezierke, bought at Beer Planet in Brussels. Very dark brown beer with red highlights, nice tan head. Nose is a blend of tart fruits and sweetish, slightly roasty malts. Flavor begins a bit tart before going fairly sweet, with a nice, moderate layer of bitterness kicking in and lasting into a dryish finish. Reminds me of a mini-Oerbier in some ways, the way it combines a little tartness with the dark malts and interesting yeast. Really a solid beer, I’d like to see it more available.
