| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2006 Pours a deep brown with Ruby highlights topped by a lacy minimalist head. Aroma is caramel, coffee and chocolate with a character that is not unlike Rochefort 8. The body is med with lite CO2. The flavors are medicinal, kahlua, sweet cherries and caramel. Some drying coffee-like bitterness in the finish. A very unique and enjoyable dubbel. Papsoe (15109), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 23, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, clear reddish mahogany with a tall, dense, beige head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and burned caramel. Medium body with very sweet roasted malt and brown sugar or burned caramel. Subdued bitterness. 221106 raymondwave (882), Finland
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2006 Isn’t this a dobbelbock? Very sweet, nice full taste. Yet no noticable banana or melon tones. I really don’t care about the label here. For some time I thought this was bottled for finnish liqueor store Alko because of the cheap looks, but it seems to be quite big in Belgium and France. altonbrownd (1964), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 9, 2006 Bottle at home. Maybe my bottle was off? I thought it was way too sweet with very little taste. Very hoppy and not good enough to even finish. (I notice that a lot of reviewers are giving it 3.4’s and saying it misses the mark -- strange.) skortila (2914), Bunnik, Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2006 Aroma of raisins, caramel and chocolate malts, some red fruits. Hazy, very dark brown coloured with a brown, medium head. Taste is quite sweet, chocolate and caramel malty, raisins in it, some rye and red fruits. Slightly carbonated finish. Bit sticky and well-bodied. This brew has much potential. It is however way to sweet. Tmoney99 (4800), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2006 Bottle. Poured cloudy brown color with an average off-white fizzy head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet balanced aroma. Medium body. Medium sweet balanced flavor with a medium biitersweet finish of moderate duration. themadmumis (344), Westminster, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 19, 2006 Nothing special with this one... the theme is unbalanced overall. Awkward blend of numerous tastes that add up to a weird sweetness with undeniable caramel tone. Wish I could distinguish more, but it ends here. Marsiblursi (1659), Göteborg, Sweden
