Bottle. This beer formed a large sized head with fine-small sized bubbles that completely dissipated. The body was ruddy/murky and carbonated with an orange-brownish hue. The nose was malty, caramel, spicy, alcohol notes and vinegar. The flavor was absolutely delicious...malty, caramel, spicy, alcohol, sweet, and fruity. The mouthfeel was very smooth and this was a medium-full bodied beer with sparse lacing. A perfect beer for the dinner that thedm and I enjoyed and a good beer on a snowy and icy day.

Pours a dark brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of malts, dark fruits, yeast and a hint of spice. Flavour about the same with some hints of sugar and molasses. Mild spicy finish.

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.

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.
