0,33 bottle labelled "birra scura altromercato" for fair trade. pours dark hazy brown with medium off white head, not long lasting but good lacing. Sweet aroma, wildberry and yeasts. fruity taste, vinous and alcoholic. dry and bitter final. good body and carbonation.

Dark brown coloured beer, ok head, should just hold a bit longer. Smell is malts, caramel. Mostly sweet at the taste, lots of yeast, not to bad, but not well outbalanced neither. Nothing to get excited about.

Murky brown colour. Intense carbonation. Aroma is very musty. Flavour has lots of cardboard and strong yeast, especially in the finish.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark brown colour with a mahogany shine and a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Earthy and slightly toasted malty aroma with notes of chocolate, vanilla and a subtle fruity touch of dried fruits. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Dark malty and slightly toasty taste with leafy notes, dried fruits; mildly sweet with a tinge of a fruity and slightly tart sourness. Not overly convincing. 24.V.11

There is something terribly wrong with the flavour of this dubbel. Dubbels are supposed to taste great, this one doesn’t.
