steview (805), Oceanside, California, USA May 2, 2004 Updated: Feb 12, 2005 Duvel tulip glass: commercial description, anyone? :o) basically, it’s really damn great. smooth and rich, dark and sexy. celebrator, rawr! UPDATE 2/12/05: english pint, room temp. / strong aroma of fig and toffee, glorious dark copper body with only the smallest ruby highlight, massive light tan head that is sparkly, tight, and with a lot of soapy lace, and it slowly, but never fully, diminishes in a rocky and airy manner. yum! primary flavors are smoke, fruit, toffee, and deliciousness. an excellent brew! (downrated flavor and overall.)
heynik1885 (36), tonawanda, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Poured into stein, Dark brown color with a frothy off white head. Not much lacing on glass. Smells of chocolate, flowers,burnt fruit,malt and caramel. Taste is complex but appearent is malts,hops,chocolate,fruits,licorice and a overall roasted flavor that adds a great balance to this beer. Alcohol and bitterness is in proportion and work well with the flavors. Palate is smooth, sturdy and leaves a great aftertaste on the back of the tongue. A great doppelbock. jimmack34 (137), Ohio, USA Nov 19, 2008 Pours amber dark brown with white frothy head. Smells fruity and sweet with hints of chocolate and toffee. Tastes tart, sweet, and malty, with some roasty, chocolate, fermented fruit, and a little bitterness. Pretty good. LordCorkscrew (657), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Nov 3, 2008 33cl degustata sabato sera; le mie aspettative erano molto alte, quindi non posso non considerarmi un pochino deluso, tuttavia rimane un’ottima doppelbock (stile che forse non è fra i miei preferiti), corposa, dolce e fragrante. HonkeyBra (472), Lemont, Illinois, USA Nov 2, 2008 Crushed with TheDude. He said it would change my perspective and Doppelbocks. He was right. Deep Dark brown pour. Malty, fruity aroma. Delicious, roasty, caramel, slightly bitter hops. Big thick mouthfeel. Thanks Dude, this was totally awesome. taalhiker (150), Dayton, Ohio, USA Nov 2, 2008 From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured gorgeous deep brown with substantial tan head.
Aromas of malt, chocolate, and candied cherries. Very complex taste centered around its malty sweetness. Gets better as it warms up a little bit. Great effort.
