Pours an amber/brown, with a thick sweet palate and a tatse, that while not as complex and favoursome as the 12, still has enough rich dark fruits and sweet malts to be a very good example of the style.

Flaske. Superlæækker, og til min glæde faldt den også i svogerens smag. Han svor der straks skulle placeres et par i køleskabet. Han er kok og har altid svoret til vin.

Visible sediment abounds when this beer is poured. A strong aroma rises quickly. Very flavorful, with constant changes. A predominately sweet maltiness throughout and a long-lasting finish.

Brownish red in color, medium head. Lacing is sticky and long lasting. Taste is moslty caramel like most of these styles. Maybe a slight hint of cherry thrown in. Nice beer overall.

light cola color with very small head, strong lemon aroma with some caramel and dark fruit notes. medium viscous, cloying body. bittersweet lemon peel, toffee, raisin wine and a light cocoa spiciness, real light alcohol undertone.

Dan, my puppy really digs this beer. Poured a thimbles worth in a glass and she attacked the glass with a vengeance. She then went after the bottle trying to lick inside the neck. Took some pics and I may change my profile pic to one of the photos. Poured a dark, dark brown that seemed to have a purple tinger to it. Poured into my delerioum tremens glass and had to space out the pour because a big, frothy head that was stained a slight khaki. Nose was aromatically malty and sweet. Flavor was a superb dubel. Lots of rich malts. Belgian sugars provided a nice solid base to this beer. Dark fruits such as prunes and dark cherries. Bits of dark grabes and dried raisins too. Could not pick out any heat from the alcohol at all but it sure hit m pretty good. Vinuous and heavy mouthfel that did a great job just coating the cheeks.

murky black with fluffy brown head. chocolate and roasted malts in aroma. outstanding variety of flavors in the taste and palate - perhaps a little fizzy but the rest is great. might be the best strong ale ive ever had
