Commercial Description:
A dark, sweet beer especially brewed to guide the 400 year celebrations of the VOC, with intent to continue the production after the festivities. VOC stands for Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie. Founded in 1602, this was the first commercial trading company of the world, and it helped out former colonies in the far east. The ships used to get there fresh water supplies from Texel, because of its longlasting qualities.

Tasted a vintage bottle 30cl from 2003. full brown beer with a malty nose and taste. Due to age, some notes of chocolate, sherry and alcohol. Too bad, i should have drunk it fresh in 2003.

Caramelly, yeasty,flavours dominate. Quite dry and mild, with some mild tartness, quite Belgian in character, enjoyable (Bottle-GBBF 03')

Bottled. GBBF2003. Muddy red brown, good thin white head and moderate condition. Low malty aromas, with hints of figs and roast barley. Slightly apple tangy in the mouth but with plenty of dark malt to counter it. Dry and roasty finish with some faint hoppiness lingering. Not a bad dubbel.

Dark brown color, with firm thick lacing, very nice. Aroma of roasted malts and caramel malts. Sweet taste, again a bit 'stouty' of the roasted malts, coffee, salami. Bitter palate. Decent dubbel, but somewhat too roasted for me.

Mmm i see i'm the first one to rate this beverage, so i guess i have to say more than just "good dubbel" ;-). Very dark brown appearance, initially large head, beautiful lacing, similar to La Trappe's dubbel. Aroma of roasted malts, raisins and liquorice perhaps? Nose is pretty nice but not very strong (perhaps gets better when warming up). Malty flavour, obvious sweetness, a bit of coffee and a hint of chocolate. Quite nice, but it could use some additional elements, perhaps aging could help. Palate is initially bitter, but then goes on to be more sweet and a bit coffee-ish. Overall quite nice. Likely to be one of the best beers of this brewer.
