| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle: Almost clear, deep amber coloured, some floaties visible; stable beige foamy layer; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; slightly increasing bitterness towards the malty-fruity finish, a warming alcohol-burn in the aftertaste included. Not bad, but quite simple...... Bontus (306), Waasmunster, Belgium
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Pours brown with a red shine. Yeasty nose, bread. Total coriander soup, very dull. Not any hint of roastedness. Dull, boring, flat, uncomplex. tommeagher (14), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2009 deep, rich, chocolaty without being heavy or too thick. very satisfying and at seven percent not overwhelming in the least. tmoreau (597), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle,Il. Dispensed to a stemmed glass with a hazed, dark brown hue and light, ruby tones showing through. The head was off white/light tan, frothy foam, with good cling to the lacing. Hints of yeast, caramel, light spice, dark fruit, and sweetness made up the aroma. The flavor was similar with a more brown sugar nature to the sweetness, dark cherry in the fruit notes, and a hint of dry, baker’s chocolate. The body was medium+ with a mild syrupy, almost sticky texture. An enjoyable Dubbel. marcus (1895), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Bottle at Monks Kettle. This opaque brown ale poured with a rich beige head and an aroma of boysenberry syrup. There is a thin dark malt flavor, slighlty carbonated with a dry bitter finish. A bit disappointing. 17thfloor (1502), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 25, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. GUSHERRRRR!!!!! ... oh well. Pours a near clear glowing orange brown with a huge airy foamy sudsy tall froth off-white. Aroma is metallic, red fruit, some stinkiness, light infection, some bread yeast, pepper, stewed vegetables. Flavor follows, vegetables, cloying powder sugar and condensed-milk candy, light bitterness, chalky, some light infection. Corse larger carbonation indicative of infection, chalky, sugary. Definitely something wrong here... doesn’t live up to the other two witkap beers. What a disappointment. JMerritt (1321), Macomb, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 14, 2009 Sampled at 2009 Bruegala. Murky, reddish brown with a small, rocky off-white lasting head. Surprisingly bland aroma - light straw and mild must with a touch of toffee. Flavor makes up for it: ripened plums, red apples, light molasses and caramel. Fizzy carbonation is a bit distracting however. Decent. dnstone (232), Mons, Belgium
