t Smisje Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Nice balanced sweet/bitter flavor. Long finish. Creamy palate.

Brown beer, unclear, muddy. Once twisted a finger in my ear, after this I did put the finger in my mouth. This beer has hints of the same flavor. Perhaps it’s the hop?

Bottle. Amber colour with a off white fully lasting head. Aroma and taste of fruits, malts and citrus. Good beer.

Pours a nice medium amber with a decent head and good lacing. Has a fair amount of carbonation and has a slight citrus aroma. The taste is malty. Not bad.

Pours a deep reddish brown color with a thick off-white head that clings to the glass as it finally falls. Banana aroma as soon as I open the bottle with more sweet fig and nutty smells coming from the glass. Beer is perhaps a little thin for something claiming to be 9% ABV. Sweet malty flavor with hints of honey and molasses. Lots of lingering dried fruit flavors. Solid but not spectacular. A treat after enduring half a bottle of their blond.

11.2 oz bottle. Brownish-ornage color with bubbly off white head. Aroma of soy sauce, molasses, and alcohol. Sweet and fruity flavor, mostly dried fruits, also malty caramel. Decent.

330 ml bottle poured a hazy copper brown with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of dates, prunes, molasses and a bit of honey. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of carmel, a bit of dark fruit and a hint of honey with a lingering bittersweet finish. I was a bit disapointed in this beer.

(33cl bottle) Murky chestnut body topped by a large head that does not retain well. Aroma is moderately sweet, prune, some honey, herbal, candi sugar. Taste is moderately sweet, prune/raisin, caramel, roast, light herbal/earthy, orange. Medium body, alcohol pretty well masked.
