Stefano (1322), Esbjerg, Denmark Nov 1, 2009 Dark amber with a large, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty and roasted. Flavor is roasted malt and dried fruits. Bitterness in the finish.
Lyncham (48), Ohio, USA Oct 20, 2009 I was not to impressed with the total flavor or palate. The beer seemed watery and not very malty. The hop bitterness was weak. Overall the beer did not meet my expectations Slokop (91), Tilburg, Netherlands Oct 19, 2009 Pours fine though big-bubbled head. Sweet with a coca-cola impression. Tiny but fine after taste. Small palate and a overall plain dubbel. A bit more of all ingredients would make it a more outspoken beer. Would do it good bhensonb (4187), Woodland, California, USA Oct 8, 2009 Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours somewhere between ruby and dark amber. Two-finger fluffy beige head. Aroma resembles xmas ale. Spicey and malty. Medium body with frothy creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark malt with dark fruit. Had a metallic note on first sip. Develops spice/yeast. Not bad at all. Refreshing even. Snegurochka (69), Tromsø, Norway Oct 8, 2009 Pours a ruby colour, with long enduring large creamy head. Whiff of malt to the nose. A bit acidic and bitter taste of burnt toast, coffee and toffee. Metallic finish. (330ml bottle, shared with Stefan at Cafe Sånn 08.oct.09) Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Oct 1, 2009 330 ml bottle. Dark reddish brown body with a big, foamy beige head. Aroma of sweet malt with spices and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and soft malt with some caramel, spices, hops, brown sugar and traces of yeast. Medium body, decent aftertaste, quite commercial style but enjoyable. bgiamatei (225), São Paulo, Brazil Sep 25, 2009 Boa cerveja. Espuma cremosa, cor ambar, sempre presente. Coloração vinho escuro - bonita. Cheiro de malte suavemente torrado, caramelo. Uma cerveja forte e frisante - maltes torrados, caramelo, suavemente adocicada e também suavemente amarga. Boa. angrybeerman (107), Dublin, Ireland Sep 8, 2009 Updated: Oct 8, 2009Bottle, bought in Jack McCarvills in Dublin. Lovely dark brown colour with thick, lasting white head. Fruity aroma. Tastes rather fruity and also quite creamy. Malty with caramel notes. Not as flavorsome as I was expecting however. Hides its strength well. A good beer if not a great one.
