Bottled. Reddish brown colour, mediumsized beige head. Dark berries (black currant) and maybe some winegums (?, the non-raters at the table said so...). Also alcohol present, but fits in very well. Sweet aftertaste, and sticky palate. A bit barleywineish hints over it.

Oct 3, 2008 Brown colored brew. Aroma is wine, fruits.
Flavor is fruity, berries, cherries, wine, some sweetness some burned malts. Overall a bit too much fruits. Palate is not nice, sourness and alcoholic.

Sep 27, 2008 A dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head, and lots of fluffy sludge. A very nice sweet caramel with molasses, tobacco leafes and berries. Nice! In mouth, a nutty malt, fragrant, with loads of coriander, molasses, raisins. Rich and pungeant. Pleasantly surprised. Bieropholie import. BB April 2009.

Sep 11, 2008 330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Very dark red, healthy off-white head. Strawberry jam aroma, some raspberry too. Quite sour on the tongue - and with healthy carbonation. Curious taste - quite sour and metallic, but not nasty, and some alcohol too. Decent burnt edge, but lacking the fullness I look for in a dubbel.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle, bought @ brygshoppen.dk.
Pours deep, red-brown with a big, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is dried fruits, light chocolate, raisins and caramel. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is softly yeasty, finely roasted, sweet chocolate, great balance, raisins, plums. Nice.
