Reddish-orange pour. Some sediment. Nice amount. Huge head. Immediate. Draught like in carbonation after the explosive head. Floral, smoky, dusty aroma. Metallic taste initially, followed by a woody, sour aftertaste. Overall, not a bad brew.

Aroma is a bit overwhelming as it jumps right at you. Appearance is very dark and its very hard to control the head as its just continues to carbonate. Flavor is packed full of flavor but its not that great, and it has a harsh aftertaste.

Fiendish pitch pour with the faintest of ruby halos. Outrageous wisps of candyfloss froth climbing out of the glass. Sourish blackcurranty nose with a suggestion of Rodenbach-like dankness. Smooth and sweet-sour black cherry fruity with a touch of burnt malt character emerging in a dryish finish. Drinks way below its strength, and with more complexity than expected.

Dark ruby pour, large head of off-white foam that persisted, medium and dark malt with cellar fragrances, faint sweet and caramel in the background, there is a aroma of smokiness and/or roast mixed in, light on the tongue, lots of carbonation, dark malt flavor with some faint coffee, dry on the palate, a hop bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Head was large fizzy and white which mostly lasted. Good lacing in glass. Body was slightly clear and colour was brown. Aroma was yeast, caramel, light rye bread and dark fruit. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and a very light warming alcoholic texture. Flavour was sweet with light notes of bitterness. Ok Dubbel.

330 ml bottle. Pours a nearly clear, deep reddish brown with a massive frothy head. Light but pleasant aroma of malt, brown sugar, and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is mostly malt with some brown sugar sweetness and also some unsweetened iced tea in there as well. The alcohol was fairly well hidden. Very little hops detected, if at all.
