Beer_2000 (1179), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 8, 2008 500 ml bottle@SBC 2008. Dark reddish/brown body with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, candy sugar, caramel and a hint of warming alcohol. Flavor is sweet, slightly roasted malt, fruity, brown sugar, some alcohol and a fine moderate bitterness makes this feeling a bit dryer than a typical Belgian dubbel. Very nice and dangerously easy drinkable. Well done Dugges!
Bov (4623), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 29, 2008 courtesy of Per - hazy redish-brown colour with a poor head retention; very malty and nutty aroma with notes of apples and gingerbread underneath; full-bodied and sticky, strong sweetness partially balanced by a fair bitterness; very long nutty finish, malty and with residual sugars - a solid, very tasty beer ChristianScheffel (2086), Odense, Denmark Aug 25, 2008 Cloudy amber with a small, but lasting off-white head. Aroma has juicy hops, orange and pine mostly. Malty sweet flavour with plenty of citrus hop flavour to balance. Bitter finish. A little alcohol hotness. larsga (2141), Oslo, Norway Aug 24, 2008 Big beige lasting head. Deep red body. Roasty fruity cinnamon aroma with citric pine needle hop notes. Dry-sweet citric tropical fruit hop taste with roasty malty pine needle hop notes. Sharpish bitter mouthfeel. Dry-acidic burnt pine needle aftertaste with vinegary alcohol and pepper notes. Harmonic, but lacks complexity, and tastes mildly spoilt. It’s not bad, but certainly not great, either. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Göteborg.) DSG (843), Yuvalim, Israel Aug 9, 2008 (6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Amber color with a beige head. Aroma nice hops with citrus, hints of pine and some caramel. Sweetish caramelly flavor at first with some toasted hints and a bitter hoppy finish with some citrus. Medium body and a rounded mouthfeel.
