Oct 4, 2009 Thanks to Solan for this rarity. Apples in the aroma with a little oxidation. Flavor is caramel apples with a slight roastiness and funk. Very good.

Sep 20, 2009 [9/5/08] Bottle sample at Kulminator in Antwerp after LCRBM. For some reason I was sure I had it before, so I didn’t take too much notes. Anyway: Clear golden. Spicy oaky aroma. Very spicy dry flavor.

Sep 19, 2009 After LCRBM 2009 at Kulminator. The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Golden, very zippy, creamy head. Starts mild-hoppy, modest spicy, becomes a bit drier, finish a bit woody-moldy. Interesting!

Poured hazy brown color with an average creamy head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex spicy fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy fruity balanced flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration with a small alcohol bite.
This is a standout beer.

7/16/2009: De Dolle Dulle Teve Special Reserva pours a hazy gold gold and is very lively in the glass. It has a foamy, mostly lacing off-white head. This beer smells like freshly pressed cider from a distance and has a really nice, sweet, sugary brown sugar, caramelzied pear, and a hint of vinegar when closer. It smells fantastic. The flavor has a great complex blend of caramelized malt and sugars. It is moderately sweet, warming, and carries a bit of smoke in the finish. The medium-light body and airy carbonation makes this beer feel tingly on that palate and opens up the flavors really well. Overall this is a fine beer.

vintage 2003
Pours muddy orange-golden. Some rather big floaties went into my glass. Small, fizzy, off-white head that settles and a thin, bubbly film. Stunning aroma, lots of apples, viniousness, oranges, yeast, sweet bready malts, some oaky vanilla. Highish carbonation, super oily mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of alcohol, yeast, pear, apples, oranges. The heavy bready malts still stick out nicely. The finish is dry and very wonderfully oaky. Incredibly lingering in its warming alcohol, vanilla and apple notes. Very, very good.

May 30, 2009 Golden with big off white head. Big malts with green apple aroma. Lots of fruity esters, green apple and a bit of sharpness. Really doesn’t let up. A definite after dinner drink. Doesn’t hide the ABV at all. The oak might have smoothed it out, but it’s still a bit rough. Hell, this was a 2003...give it another 2 years.
