A dark undlear red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander being most dominant, but also roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of bread and coriander as well as other spices leading to a slightly dry end.

Bottled. Ruby colour, coarse head. Aroma of solvent and plastics. Sweetish with notes of almond. Hard, clean malt profile. Artificial lacquer-like finish. has dropped from a wonderful beer to near undrinkable liquid in a few years :-( Could this have something to do with the new owners?

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown, nice full head. Malty caramel flavours although not very dominating. Some sugars but drier and less sweet than the similar types from Grimbergen and Leffe. Classical dubbel. 180893

Medium nut brown. Rocky head. Aroma shows plum, apple, dark rye bread, metals, phenols. Palate has a rough-edged yeastiness, and honey-sweet caramel malts. Nuts and wood appear as well. Not very cohesive, but I’m always tough on dubbels.

33 cL bottle at Den tatoverede Enke. Pours dark amber golden with a dense light tan head. Overripe fruit and yeast aroma, underlying malt note. Overripe fruit and yeast flavour with a light chemical/detergent touch. Light phenol flavour into the finish. Spiced yeasty as well. Mild malt flavour lingering into the finish.
