The aroma is sweet, fruity with notes of plums - a pretty complex aroma. The color is a deep red and it has a small beige head though fast disappearing. The flavor is sweet and rich in fruit; plums, raisins, and prunes. The alcohol ticles the tongue which combines with the bitterness into a dry end. It has a good palate which in combination with the alcohol makes it rather winous.

(Bottle 33 cl) Medium brown with a decent off-white head. Typical dark brown malty flavour + perhaps a touch of ...licorice? Body is only medium in spite of the strong alcohol making this rather easy to drink. More dry than bitter, although with a pronounced touch of hops. 051093

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a reddish huge and huge light brown/off-white head. Fruity an light medicine like aroma. Flavour is smooth malty with hints of chocolate and some spice notes. A smooth yeast flavour shines through. There is a slight banana fruity flavour beneath. Faint and soft liqourice note. Finish is more of the same smooth malt notes and a start of a winous feel. Otherwise extremely well hidden alcohol. Nice but not fantastic.

Bottle. Dark chestnut brown colour, small light brown head. Malty, vinous, brown sugar flavour with liquorice aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel. An almost perfect dubbel IMHO. I want another!

Bottled. Hazy nut brown colour, big foamy beige head. Alcohol and malt in aroma. Strong alcohol and a bit breadish malt in flavour. A bit bitter finish.
