Maria (3963), Thisted, Denmark Apr 1, 2007 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
Wim (734), Turnhout, Belgium Aug 17, 2008 cloudy amber coloured body with a off white head a sweet fruity malty aroma a sweet fruity malty taste with a malty bitter finish Borresteijn (444), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber brown colour, beige head. Aroma of yeast, malts. Flavour is malty sweet, yeast, fruity. High carbonation. A bit dull. TheBeerBaron (161), Florida, USA Aug 10, 2008 Cloudy red amber color medium light brown head with not much bubbles seen in the glass. Sweet malt aroma at first but gives way to a wierd mold kind of smell. A definite rock sugar aroma noticed as well. Sweet initial taste transitions to a cherry tartness. Palate is light, not as bubbly as other strong belgiums. A well blended dubbel that handles its alcohol very well. pojo41 (296), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Aug 1, 2008 Poured a dark hazy brown with the typical dubbel head and lacing. Good aroma and flavors of malt, caramel, spice and a bit of fruit. Medium body makes it pretty drinkable. Pretty decent. 944play (15), Austin, Texas, USA Jul 28, 2008 750 into bordeaux glass. Just a little yeast. Anise and peach stand out against a breadier background nose. Palate carries a weird bicarbonate tingle. Good but certainly not great.
