Discretina, sicuramente un bel po’ noiosa, però si lascia bere; dolcina, 33cl bastano per stufarsi. Punta metallica più accentuata che nella Tripel (che rimane la mia preferita della linea Grimbergen).

Sweet malty body and similar aroma. Dark brown color. Sadly, i don’t recall any hints of brandy in this, but I might have to revisit it to be sure.

Bottle -- Clear dark, dark ruby red with medium carbonation. Medium to large beige head with OK retention and lots of lacing. Very sweet malty caramel aroma. A nice touch of alcohol warmth in the flavour with more malty sweetness. Perhaps a suggestion of rich dried fruits as well, a little simple, though. Its overall sweet smoothness is balanced out by a certan astringent edge in the aftertaste. A nice drop.

Red brown with a beige head. Sweet yeast and malt aroma. Sweet malty taste with some alcohol. Late bitterness. Easy drinking Dubbel, but not one I’m going to remember for long.

Bottle. Dark amber coloured with a rather large dense off-white head. Quite sweet with notes of malt, berries, bread, caramel and spices. Bit too sweet and unbalanced.

On tap, at a cafe in Brussels. Pours the typical reddish-brown that is the hallmark of any dubbel. The aroma is malty with some spicy notes as well. Taste is heavily malty with a bit of a fruit taste to it as well. Smooth and very drinkable, though the end is a tad on the watery side.

GREAT. The malty flavor is accented by a sweet, smooth aftertaste. Its so creamy and malty for a dubbel, I was very very pleasantly surprised. A new favorite for sure
