Clear amber to light brown coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Malty sweet flavoured aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet bitter malty roasted.

Aroma is malty with a hint of caramel and yeast. Nice maly flavour. Bittersweet & easy to drink.

Bottle @ home. Clear dark orange / copper to brown color with a small off-white head. Smell malts and not too sweet. Not much more. Tastes more bitter then most ’bruin/dubbels’ do. Decent taste. Little bit thin though. Average carbo, medium body.

Bottled, thanks Wim & Els! Clear brownish amber, minimal head. Aroma of candy sugar, butter and cinnamon. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Rather low flavour intensity, mostly crystalized sugar . Slight spicy hop bitterness.

Poured hazy amber color from a 250mL bottle into glass with little white head and minimal lacing. Body is light to medium and carbonation is acceptable. Aroma is caramel and fruit. Taste is lightly sweet with some yeast and a mild bitter hop in the finish. As far as Belgian ales goes this one is a little weak.

Bottle from Bierparadijs. Light amber body with thin head. Nose of whiskey malts, caramel. Taste also malty, caramel, with some whiskey flavours throughout. Quite enjoyable.

25cl bottle (Cambrinus, Bruges)
6- Sweet caramelly dark fruits, including plum.
3 Vivid orangy red, brief small head
6 Some toffee in the retronasals, very malt oriented
3 Feels thin, as if it’s been watered down, but of course, as it’s 6.5%, feeling weak is almost a complement. Very very gentle woody and nutty finish.
12 Adequate, but uninspiring. Too much based on sweet malts, neither classy enough to get away with such a narrow focus, nor with enough complexity.

Tap, 25 cl. Amber-light brown coloured beer with medium white head. Aroma is malty, light hoppy, some caramel and spicy notes included. Taste is malty, light sweet, hoppy with a light bitter dry finish. Not bad, but overall an average beer.
