COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Translated from the Dutch on brewer’s website: Originally brewed as a Christmas beer, this irresistible dark beer for tasting at 7.1% ABV became a permanent fixture almost immediately. It’s a mildly fruit, lightly sweet and soft dark warm fermented abbey beer with three types of malt and two types of hops and additions of light and dark candy sugar. The biggest proportion of malt is Munich barley malt, which has been killed a slightly higher temperature to give a slightly more coloured character than usual. This gives Ter Dolen Donker its biscuit-like flavour. Added to this are light hints of caramel from some caramel malts, along with the typical flavours of light and dark candy sugar. Our Donker is bottle conditioned.

tontalus (1812) - - DEC 24, 2022
UPDATED: DEC 24, 2022 Das Ter Dolen Donker ist schwarz und somit wirklich 'dark' Die mittelporige, daumendicke und braun eingefärbte Krone fällt grobporig in sich zusammen. Der Geruch nach Alkohol und Kaffee dominiert. Beim Antrunk angedeutet süßer Einstieg flankiert von röstigen Espressoaromen. Der Körper ist gut ausgebildet und der Alkohol wird offenbar. Es kommt eine Pflaumenlikörnote rüber. Dabei ist die Rezenz im unteren Mittelfeld, was bei einem Strong Ale aber aus gesundheitlichen Gründen in Ordnung ist. Beim Abgang deutlicher Hopfen aber nur mit Bitterkeit und ohne eigenem Aroma. Ein durchweg ausgeglichenes und leckeres Geschmackserlebnis. Am Gaumen bleibt eine alkoholische Pflaumennote zurück. Lecker! 10-2019

corkyrory66 (6666) - BELGIUM - OCT 21, 2022
UPDATED: OCT 21, 2022 Double de 7,1 % abv, brassée avec 3 malts et 2 houblons. Parmi les malts, on trouve notamment du munich torréfié .. voilà qui est à la fois une bonne idée et très joli. Cette bière a d'abord été présentée en bière de Noël. Visuel très sombre, superbe. Nez entre grillé, torréfié et chocolaté. Entame aux belles nuances caramélisées, moins amples que le nez. Longueur qui trouve une vitesse de croisière, mais on est loin de l'espoir que laissait le nez !! CONCLUSION : pas plus d'abbaye que dans les autres ter Dolen .. puisqu'il n'y a pas d'abbaye .. mais la meilleure bière de la série .. (music pairing : Black tongue reverend, album All of them have fangs .. je ne peux rien ajouter .. mais c'est un superbe album heavy blues rock)
