Pours a dark but translucent cola brown with reddish highlights. A large, frothy, beige head slowly settles to a thin layer, leaving sticky cobwebs of lacing all the way down the glass. The nose is dry and fruity, with dehydrated prunes and figs showing amidst lightly sweet caramel, faint licorice, and mild dark spices. Flavors follow those same basic guidelines, but with candy sugar asserting itself a bit more in the foreground, transitioning into a dry, lightly sweet, vegetal sort of finish. The body is on the watery side, but smooth and moderately carbonated. The dryness and astringency gets to you towards the end of the glass. Its a decent brew, but nowhere near special.

May 15, 2008 Bottle, 33cl at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. It has a amber to ruby, semi-clear body with a big, off-white and creamy head. Dried fruits, caramel, malt and some roasted notes in the aroma. The flavor starts with dried and fresh fruits, then caramel and a nice bitterness comes through. It finishes quite bitter as well. Full body. A nice dubbel, pleasing and easy to drink. (080410)
