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.

Sep 30, 2008 75cl corked 2005 bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with light sediment and a short white head. Very spicey aroma with a little sugar too. Flavour was nice but finished a little sour and the mouthfeel was a little thinner than expected. Good but not great.

Sep 29, 2008 Deep reddish brown with a medium sized long-lasting head. Nose of raisins and prunes. Taste of dark fruits, nuts, sugar, and bread, like fruitcake. Bitter/sweet fruit and nut finish. This for sale in USA bottle was labeled "Grotten Brown, Pierre Celis Signature Selection" and the ABV of this batch is stated to be 6.7% on the bottle. From Brouwerij St. Bernard (so I’m confident I identified it correctly). Label graphics are essentially identical to the picture here.

Sep 19, 2008 Candy sugar and light sweet fruit syrup on the nose, intense fruitcake flavours but unfortunately this is a little tired, long journey and a long time in the bottle have taken their toll and this is not as good as i’m used to.
