| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2005 Never got to taste this when it was brewed at Gouden Boom, sadly. Bottle from Hotel Ibis, Brugge. This was a fairly ordinary Dubbel. Don’t think it was bottle conditioned, but I’d had a few beers by this point, so happy to be proved wrong! Dark brown, fairly persistant head. Aroma of malt, caramel, chocolate. Malty flavour and finish. Spiesy (2333), Global Citizen, Greater London, England
