(Bottled) Dark ruby red with a medium, beige head. Very caramely, grainy and pretty sweet aroma with raisins and brown sugar. Rye-pudding-sugary flavor with lots and lots of caramel, hints of ashes, and no hops to speak of. Medium body with low carbonation and syrupy sugar presence. Way too sugary to be enjoyable, and definitely not the same recipe as in Petrus Dubbel Bruin.

bottle, dark brown colour with white and unstable head. (not a nice beer). Fruity and malty smell. Taste: roasted malts, caramel, grainy, raisins, pruns, candy sugar, chestnuts. Very nice one but not very complex beer! I like this one!

Bottled. Big thanks again to Phil D. Sweetish waxy aroma of malt loaf, toffee, prunes, wholemeal. Chestnut pour heaped with rocky beige. Certainly smells and looks the part. Pelforth Brune candyish sweetness sticky with raisins, demerara and a late hint of liquorice. Tasty but excessively sugared Dubbel.

Bottle at Delirium, Brussels. Mahogny with a small, lacing head. Spicy caramel with some yeastiness. Sweet molasses flavours and caramel, dry spicy finish. at least Good carbonation, slightly oily. Peasant enough, but on the sweet side. Claimed to be an original beer by the brewery, and I choose to be a believer. But it may be closely related to Petrus Dubbel Bruin- its more spicy brother, perhaps?
