Caramel and malts in aroma. The flavor is caramel candy and sweet, along with some funk. Not bad, an interesting ale but the flavor is a bit off.

Draft @ de Paas. Brown colour with a tanned head. Spicey smell of malts and kandi sugar. Flavour is fresh, easy drinkable and malty. Good session beer, just above average.

Bottle. Cloudy brown pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of caramel, yeast, bread and toffee. Medium to thin body with the slight bitter malty finish. Middle of the road Belgian, certainly not worth the price but worth checking out.

I let this warm a bit out of the fridge. Poured with a nice, large, thick, foamy, frothy, fluffy, creamy, tan head that lasts a long time and lots of lace. Color is an opaque brown with a little red and lots of sediment in suspension. Aroma is roast, cocoa, molasses, spice, yeast. Flavors almost exactly the same, just more intense plus a nice balance of carbonic tang and just enough sweetness. Body and carbonation are good. Beer is a little chewy. Finish is of average length and satisfying. Decent beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled, blind tasting at home. Brown colored, small brown head. Sweet caramel malty nose, some raisins. Caramel malty flavor, very sweet, a classic Dubbel. Somewhat bitter finish. The bittersweet finish makes it stand out from other Dubbels, nice. Thanks Vanya and Martijn for this gift.
