KimJohansen (4294), Copenhagen V, Denmark Feb 10, 2008 [Tasting @ yespr, Vintage 2005] Hazy dark amber with medium off white head. Aroma has overripe fruits, roasted malt and chocolate. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, overripe fruits, chocolate and yeast. Slightly sour note to it. Could be the agening.
NoiZe (947), Zeist, Netherlands 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. Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 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. FatPhil (2362), Espoo, Finland 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. BoBoChamp (729), Gent, Belgium Jul 20, 2008 33cl, from Geers Oostakker, complex brew, hazy, good head, nice brew, the best of the St.-Idesbald-range thewolf (3963), Kolding, Denmark 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.
