Bottle - Pours a reddish brown with a big tan head that quickly departs. Sour cherry/cough syrup aroma that is not very appealing. Sugary, cherry, toffee flavor. Had better.

This used to be one of my favourites, until I discovered there are more beers than the ones you can buy in the supermarket. Dark brown/red colour, off white head. Looks great in its glass! Aroma of brown sugar, caramel, some fruits. Taste is mainly caramel and brown sugar, slightly metallic, a little sourish aftertaste, some alcohol Sweetness becomes cloying after a while, there’s just too much of it.

Bottle. Not a great dubbel for me. Toffee, brown sugar, sweetness up to the knackers. Too much sweet for me to like. Not awful, it’s drinkable but I would not buy this when I can get much better dubbels.

On tap, pours opaque ruddy brown with a two finger cream colored head. The nose and the flavor are both sweet summer fruits and brown sugar - toffee. A bit too sweet for me, but a nice smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle-Pours with a big light tan head. Aroma of strawberries and oddly enough tomatoes. Flavour is sweet and citrusy. Nice beer overall.
