| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | May 6, 2008 Nice amber color with a thin tan head.
Thin bodied - the prickly carbonation takes away some residual softness.
Nose of brown sugar, some pears and raisins. The hop flavor is almost non existent but bitterness keeps the sweetness in check (No alcohol notes - OK)
Pretty interesting beer, but I wish the carbonation was lower it seems to detract from the the overall beer (same quibble as Rochefort 6) goozen (1088), Leiden, Netherlands

Dark ruby color, big creamy beige head. Caramel, hops and blackcurrant in the nose. Quite watery palate, foamy carbonation. Light, not really caramelly or fruity as usual dubbel, but more dry, blackcurrant leaf hoppy. Some Rodenbach-tartness. Earthy notes. Light alcohol in the aftertaste. Quick and easy brew. And yes, the label is very beautiful. jerohen (1614), Bussum, Netherlands
