(bottle, traded with bierkoning) Hazy, murky brown colour with a reddish shine and a rocky beige foamy head. Yeasty, sweet toast-malty with caramel, notes of dark berries and a vinous alcoholic touch. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate, almost crispy mouthfeel. Toast-malty taste with raisins and a touch of caramel; sweetish malty, slightly fruity and alcoholic finish. Rather average Dubbel.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottled. Light beige head is large and long lasting. Nice lace formation. Liquid is dark brown to amber. Aroma has quite intese banana, yeast and sweet caramel. Malts are medium roasted, dark and caramelly in the finish. Peppery spiciness and some sour fruitness of fermented fruits. Alcohol is well hidden. Flavor is quite only medium sweet, more like sour to me. Some bitterness in the finish. Palate is carbonated and foaming and a bit thin. Sticky texture in the finish, otherwise slick and quite oily. Simple but quite OK duppel. A bit too carbonated.

Aug 25, 2008 33 cl bottle - Pours a clear deep mahogany color with a large off white. Nice layered lacing. Aroma is yeast, esters, and sugar. Flavor is sweet dark esters and brown sugar. The sweetness lingers a tad, almost cloying. Medium body. A decent beer.

Aug 15, 2008 Pours a thick head and has a muddy brown color. When the head goes down it looks like oil on water. Pretty fruity aroma. Fruity and sweet taste. A lot of malts in it. A rather uneventful double, but still a good brew. Thick body.
