Nice dark reddish brown appearance. Thick foamy head. Aroma is of freshly baked bread, hay, a bit yeasty and malty. Bitter leathery taste that makes me wonder if I accidentally soaked my jacket into this beer, but it’s definitely interesting. There is also a hint of sweetness, but the long finish is again quite bitter. Good carbonation. I actually like it, although it’s a bit different than most dubbels.

Pours a dark brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and caramels. Flavors of roasted malts, dry plums, caramels, some spices, and some brown sugars. A nice creamy, dry sweet and bitter finish. Good carbonation and good ballance. A nice warm beer that’s very enjoyable.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a medium off whtie head. Aroma and taste of caramel, dark fruits and malts. Good beer.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Dark brown with lasting tan head. Nose of roasted malts with slightly soapy notes. Sweet and spicy flavours of caramel, malts and bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable.

From 330ml bottle. New beer. Dark brown with a caramal smell and caramal taste. The dark brown colour can be explained by some roasted malt, which makes it more interesting. However good enough to be excited about imo.
