t Smisje Dubbel

I enjoyed this beer, poured from the bottle into a glass. It had an aroma featuring caramel malt with a touch of dark fruits and some grainy hops too. The beer was a dark cloudy brown color with some sediment and a dark tan head with decent retention and good cling. The taste was a sweet caramel malt flavor with some fruity effects and a touch of sourness and bitterness. The body was very wet and creamy, but was a bit watery with low carbonation.

Pours a dirty brown with chunks and floaters. Angry head settles somewhat, but never calms completely. Aroma of dirt and mud, but in a good way. Full mouthfeel, flavor is slightly sweet, slightly spiced, and evolves slowly. Subtle finish. Great example of an abbey style dubbel.

Sampled at Yourdarklord’s house. Pours a dark amber with a retentive tan head. Notes say aroma is weird. Fine carbonation. Flavor of raisens with some accents of peat and tobacco. Not much else was written down. I must have been busy talking. Oh well

This beer smells really bad. Flavor is ok but not good either. I’m never having this one again. (Bottle 33cl)

copper red tinted body, extremely carbonated. duvel like in it’s resistance to quick drinking. honey and bread nose, not wheat, just bread. light spice in the nose that is more evident as it warms, this blends well with the sweet aroma well. sticky sticky. mead like, dates and alcohol, earthy yeast with a strong spice. good blend of flavors really great taste that gets just a touch cloying and is a bit thick. would love to have a 6% or so version of this. 3 6 6 2 12

Bottle from Publick House. Pours a murky, funky brown with a lacing off-white head. Earthy aroma, lots of sweet, chocolaty malts, with a hint of light fruit and cloves. Dark chocolate dominates, a little bittersweet. Quite malty, but not overwhelming. Great biting, bitter finish. A favorite style from a favorite brewer = a certain "4".

Caramel and apricots on the nose with hints of dust. Deep amber with some gold hues, big spongy head with nice lacing. Burnt honey and fruity sweetness, noticeable bitter bite. Massive carbonation, full body, intense warming alcohol finish. Nice beer, may be a little hot, bu this would likely do well with some age.

Very nice red color but no head. This is a very old bottle. Caramel sweet nose with slight oxidation. Very flat, dry with a hint of Bret, some old hops. Not really fair to rate this given it’s well past it’s prime.
