| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2005 Amber-brown body with a silky off-white head. Some funky barnyard, leather, furniture polish, and nice malt qualities. Has an element that reminds me of Orval. Interesting tartness and yeasty flavor. Considerably bitter finish. This beer is complex, nice, and unique.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | May 16, 2005 bottle from brickskeller. I’m not sure where this came from, the label is very much not in english. however, i don’t care much, because this is an awesome brew. aroma is a little belgian funk, some bread and figs. body is medium/light, belying the medium brown color. flavor is mellow, nuts and malt, with an incredibly crisp finish for such a malty brown beer. this is simply great.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 16, 2005 bottle-pours a murky turbid brown hue with a small off-white head. big spicy flavors-ginger, brett, and slight horseblanket funk. fizzy body, but thats ok for this style of beer and becomes more refreshing as it goes down. a little mineral characteristic in the finish. not bad!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 3, 2005 Bottle. Aroma of fresh, citrusy mold. Quite clear chestnut colour, semi-stable, creamy, light brown head. Flavour is not very malty for a dubbel, but dry in a nice way. Turns a bit more malty in the aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel, mild carbonation. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2005 Bottle at Smokeless. This is a nice spicy number that I wasn’t expecting from the Bernardus Brewery. There’s cinnamon blended with nutmeg and corriander as well. A nice fresh and peppy brew good for any occasion.
