Commercial Description:
It is copper, with a toffee-malt taste. A subtle fruitiness, relatively firm body, and alcohol give it almost the impression of a strong ale spiked with apple brandy.

Note: No longer made (since 1999 or so) by De Dolle. Current versions are made by Strubbe (the brown ale, reportedly the same as Ichtegem's) and Bavik (the blonde, reportedly the Petrus Triple).

A clear amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and peach. The flavor is as if it is a bit old - sweet, dusty, caramel, alcohol, peach, and fruit.

Vintage 1992.
Had this rare found at Akkurat in Stockholm. Pours clear cognac colored with a fizzy fast disappearing white head. Aroma is extreme acidic, so much it makes my eyes water!! Very vinous and fruity with apple and citrus notes and hint of De Dolle yeast. Flavor is also tart and acidic but more vinous than sour. Citrus, herbs and yeast notes. Strong, sharp and so warming I can feel it flowing down my throat. Shows some age, but still it matured very well. A very interesting and different experience!!

Sampled in Alveringem. 1992 Vintage. Color of old gold with still good livelyness in the beer and with a medium head. Tipical De Dolle aroma’s with touch of citrus, caramel, honeyed malts, buttercakes and some medicinale aroma’s which is normal for an old beer of this type. It has a soft taste with a round mouthfeel. In the taste you can notice some hints of stonefruits, some maltyness, hints of butter toffee’s and a fine vegetal bitterness with again a medicial touch in the afthertaste.
