| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bottle at Chancey Smith’s- A deep and clouded muddy brown with a frothy beige cap that laces well. Nose of yeasty funk, candy sugar, caramel, spices and floral notes. Tastes sweet, but with a funky yeasty twang. Prune and caramel with an almost sour yeast presence meets floral hoppiness, with an oaked aspect. Creamy, funky and sweet finish with good lingering aftertaste. Very good! Thanks Milos!

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Dec 30, 2009 This is one of my favorite belgian beer. The beer is higlly carbonated but the white foam quickly goes down to a thinn lace. The color is dark orange and unfortunantly quite clovdy as there is live yeast in each bottle. The aroma is very belgian with spices and dried fruit and phenols. In the taste you find the fenols and fruits that gives quite a marvelous blend, smoth and full of taste. The body is medium to full, a real good sipping beer. baraciisch (156), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Cloudy red brown in color... Yeasty malty aroma... Flavor is sweet and citrusy initially over a malty base, yeasty finish characteristic of a Belgian, very crisp and refreshing for a brown, kind of a fusion between a brown ale and a trippel... Pretty good. stfrancis (30), Heffingen, Luxembourg
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown, aroma contains plums and cherries. Tastes sweet, more fruit like apples. Good hop balance to the fruitiness, hints of oak. Decent but nothing to shout about. Quevillon (1540), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Drank a Brouhaha (Montreal) in 330 ml bottle, December 19, 2009. Caramel dark brown, no head. Aroma of sweet spicy caramel malt, with a touch of red fruits. Taste of malted caramel tobacco, notes of dried berries and an aftertaste of bitter herbs. Aged in the caves, strange but it works for this beer! KyotoLefty (1501), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Bottle from Ohtsuki.
Rather pretty orange-brown color with an enormous head. Complex aroma with dark fruit and chocolate from afar, yet dusty, slightly funky, spicy from close up. Mellow caramel and fruit flavor, again with some dusty, vegetal funk too. Chocolate and spice. Caramel malt flavors got deeper as it warmed. Slight bitterness in the finish. Nice beer.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Not a bad little dubbel. Nose is sweet and slightly spicey. In the mouth it is smooth with a medium body. A bit of nut and chocolate in the the finish. Beerdedone (1888), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber brown with a fizzy off-white head that left lots of floties. Aroma was malty and yeasty with light fruit. Flavor was malty and fruity with caramel, yeast, brown sugar, spices and had a bitter and dry finish. TaxiDriver (948), Stadland, Germany
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. It started quite sour, light foul, later it gets maltier and smells more like bread. The creamy light beige head is medium large with a normal duration. The body is dark brown. It tasted like wine (red wine), quite malty. The body is creamy, dry and lively at the same time, it is medium strong with a lively carbonation.
