Roasted malt and brown sugar aroma with some spices and fruit also - typical dubbel! Oranges and malt in the flavor with a grassy tone and some sourness in the end. Foamy mouthfull.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 5, 2004 Bottle pours translucent deep fiery amber, large off-white frothy head, lively carbonation, with so-so lacing. Sweet aroma, minor dark pitted fruits, candi sugar, and subtle hints of earth and dust. Slightly spicy up front, herbs, earth, and a bit of dust. This is followed by a very light hint of dark pitted fruit, and even some apple or pear. Full body, spritzy mouthfeel. Finishes slightly sweet, malty, light figs, then a bit dusty. A reasonable Dubbel.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 9, 2004 a ludicrous brune to say the least (in a very good way) I´ve sampled a couple of dubbels tonight and this is by far the bery best! Aroma is wonderful, hints of fruits, berries, some roast. Explosive taste, caramels, oak, earth, outhouse, liquorice, hops, yeast. Simply wonderul and one explosive dubbel! Earlier Rating: 7/9/2004 Total Score: 3.6 a big big head on this one. Aroma is something like a hoppy micro from the USA. Some earthy tones, vineagar, spices, , nutty, outhouse and a bit roasty and candy-ish. First sip is a bit of a let down, but pleasantly hoppy with a dry bitter finish. Maybe a bit to dry. This is indeed a pleasant brew, with a very interesting aroma, but the taste is a bit of a let down like I said .... fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2004 Dark amber color; huge rocky head! Nice malty aroma, with some roasted touch, yeast. Same for the taste: some malt and roasted malt, caramel; quite dry, probably not really mature. Earlier Rating: 6/8/2002 Total Score: 3.8 Deep amber colour, generous thick head, beautiful lace. Very nice aroma, fresh, hoppy, some malt, sweetness. Good body, quite strong caramel, malt; some residual sweetness attenuated by a very light astringency. More ordinary palate. Good strong ale, with some aging potential. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
