Orange brown color with two fingers off white head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruits, honey, brown sugar. Taste is light sweet, light bitter. Light body, thin to oily texture, average carbonation. Not bad for the price

Hazy amber with a very nice off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits and toasted malt, hints of oak. Flavor is like the aroma with some moderate spicy at end. Mouthfeel is dry with hints of coffee and roasted malt.

Poured from a chilled bottle into a glass. nice orange color, large head, not much of a fragrance other than a hint of sweet banana. Weaker taste, not overly rich with a slight hop taste.

Láhev 330 ml. Po nalití je znát aroma švestek a čokolády. Pěna je vysoká zlatohnědá s velkými bublinkami, rychle mizící. barva samotného piva je hnědá,, proti světlu rubínová, příjemná na pohled.´Chuťově pivo připomíná pomeranče, kombinované se švestkami, pivo je sladšího rázu. velmi jemně ovocně hořké. Vzdáleně připomíná styl barleywine.

Amber colour, clear. Medium head, weak retention. Smells sweet, caramel. Taste: very sweet caramel and malts. Then, strong carbonation ending in a short lived very mild bitter and sweet aftertaste. Little character or balance. Not impressive.

33cl on draught @ Affligem Café, Londerzeel. Aromas of chocolat, caramel, leather? Redbrownish, barely a head and immediately gone. Taste has some alcohol in it, chocolat, caramel. Fizzy and sweet alcoholwarmth. Light body.

[330ml bottle, The BeerHive, Edinburgh] Brownish-red, slightly hazy, beer with a large puffy white head. Aroma is leather, spices, wood, wet straw and stone fruit. Similar flavours, with the sweeter, caramel elements coming out towards the end, alongside a decent lick of alcohol [25042013]

Tasted 13/4/2013 draught at Cafe De Dam, Amsterdam. Poured a translucent mahagony with a reddish tint and with a one-finger beige coloured foamy head that diminshed quickly but laced OK. No obvious carbonation. Aroma of sweet caramel malts. Taste of sweet caramel and a trace of roasted grain. Light body. Smooth sweet dry finish.

February 2011. From a corked 750 ml. bottle. Pours redbrown with a tan head. Good dubbel characters but lacks a bit of structure.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel. Ditto taste, with a slightly sourish aftertaste. A nice one.
