Ambiorix Dubbel

A deep red beer with a beutiful beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, corriander, and plums. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of corriander and plums giving way to a dry hoppy end. The body is thin - especially considering the 8% ABV.

I sampled the unfiltered version bottled 1991 in 2001. Brownish red appearance. Acidic and vinuous, complex and well matured.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark amber with a full and frothy head. Very dry, almost ashy flavours - far from the malty sweetness one would expect in a Dubbel. An odd sour finish almost reminiscent of Rodenbach although somehow not as quenching. An odd bird indeed. 301297

(Bottle 33 cl) As "Drongens Plezierke"Dark beer with a huge head. Soft and very malty notes in a nice balance with the hops. Very tasty and easy to drink - in spite of the alcohol. My kinda beer. 8/4/8/4/16= 4 130694

Bottle. Clear orange brown coloured with a beige head. Sweet aroma of malts, fruits and caramel. Flavour of malts, caramel, berries and fruits.

Bottled (as Drongens Plezierke). Dark brown/rubyish colour with small beige head. Aroma is malts, hops and some acidic fruits. Flavour has some bubblegu, in it along with the fruits. Quite different brew, but the bubblegummyness takes the flavour down a bit.
