Rich fruity bitter with a slight caramel aroma. Deep amber with an off white head. Very nice smooth rich flavour of caramel and hops. Fresh bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Bottle. Dark crimson color, foamy tan head and a tornado-like stream of bubbles coming up the center of the tulip glass. An awesome overall appearance. Deep fruit aroma of plums and bannana mixed with malt overtones. The pallate is overly bubbly, detracting from the overall score. Sweet and fruity plus the fizz takes away any reminder of a high alcohol content. The double malt is evident but a little more emphasis on neutralizing hops would have helped. A fine beer, but doesn’t rise up to the top of the amazing ranks of other belgium legends.

Belgisk Ale. Rødbrun øl med ingen vedvarende skum. Duften er af belgisk gær og af karamel. Ikke særlig kraftig duft. Smagen er krydret - nærmest som en juleøl. Belgisk gær anes. Dog ikke særlig dominerende. Anelese brændt i smagen. Ikke særlig fyldig, men heller ikke så høj alcohol. Generelt en god Ale

An average dubbel. Dubbels are either mind blowing or very average. This falls in the very average category. Dark brown pour with a 2 finger off white head with no lacing. Aroma of yeast. Tasted like stale Coke with malt in it. Thinner mouthfeel and as much carbonation as I am used to. No dark fruit or yeast that I look for.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a clear brown color with lots of carbonation present, very large bubbles and thick foamy tan head, nice lacing pattern. Very sweet malty corn syrup aroma. A bit grassy yet gentle and inviting. Heavy syrup feel. Malty sweet flavor like karo syrup with a subtle peppery finish, dry.

Deep ruby body with a medium creamy tan head. Sweet caramel, molassas and spice aroma. Sweet molasas, caramel, rum soaked fruit and light spice flavor.

Bottle, pours quite dark browny/red in colour. Some yeast on the nose but also there are some tropical fruits there as well. Taste was of chocolate and some dark dried fruits, good beer that was really drinkable.
