Dark burgundy-brown with a light tan head that lofts high, but quickly settles itself down. Yeasty/spicy notes in the nose. Champagne-like carbonation in the mouthfeel; watery at times. Dark fruit notes of raisin and fig. Burnt candy caramel, too. Woodsy and earthy, with a brown sugar flavor to it. Bitter and dryish in the finish. Some cardboard off-flavors. Burnt toast in the aftertaste. Some warming in the throat.

Nov 29, 2008 Dark brown with a beige thick foamy milkshake head that thins but stays foamy and floats on top. Faint yeasty aroma. Sweet, malty, yeast taste. Very refreshing and hides 7% alcohol well.

Nov 29, 2008 Brown coloured beer with medium off white head. Malty aroma, bits op hops and chocolate. Full little creamy palate. Finish is bitter malts and spicy. Good one.

Nov 15, 2008 33cl bottle. Dark ruby brown, frothy pale head. Yeasty, quite dry aroma with mild spiciness, cellar, rotten banana and wheat. Like a bad dunkelweizen. Dry herbal flavor, yeast and wheat with a bit acidic, berry-like finish. Quite light bodied, overcarbonated spritzy palate. There’s not much likeness with the standard dubbels here.
