2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Dark brown and reddish in colour with a rather large fluffy light brown head. Somewhat sweet and malty with notes of caramel, dark fruits, yeasts and syrup. Pretty well balanced but also too mild and uninteresting.

It’s a nice brown color and a nice, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, sweetness and spice (is it anise?), caramel and candy sugar. I find the same impressions in the flavour, which might sound as if it’s complex, but I find it rather thin bodied and that the sweetness is to dominant. The finish is rather dry. 1524

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at La Mayor Cervezas, march 07. Shinny copper color and an almst chantilly cream light beige head. Aroma is peaches, fruity. Tastes of caramel, dried fruits and a nice nutty ending, with a slight toasty touch. MF is medium, very creamy, velvety, just a bit flat at the end. Nice, warming dubbel that could go the extra mile with a touch of singularity.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: NOV 20, 2008 Super frothy, nearly too frothy of a head, off white color. Translucent amber color, with fruity aromas including raisin with caramel and spice. Flavor dissipates too quickly, no lingering, with an almost a metallic taste throughout. Not good. Harsh and stingy palate. I wont buy this one again.

Bottle. Dark, brown/red color, with a bit bitter and at the same time fresh taste.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours an amber color with a very nice initial head, solid lacing, nice appearance. The aroma was strong caramel with light brown sugar notes, not a good start. The flavor was strong nasty caramel, light bread, and nasty european pale lager flavors with some yeastiness, light fruitiness with increasing temperatures. Very unimpressive outside of appearance, a little sticky in mouthfeel.
