Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a 3 finger white head. Aroma and flavor is roasted malt, caramel malts, some hops. Flavor is very malty, some booziness, bitter roasty finish and dark fruit. carruthm (1112), Seattle, Washington, USA May 27, 2008 V - brown pour with an exciteable head that crackels but doesn’t leave much lacing behind.
A - Not much of one that I could detect.
T - first impression is an alcoholic taste which fades into a malty wheat and then is gone in the carbonation.
P - carbonation explodes in the mouth seemingly filling up with bubbles and not leaving much in the way of the actual beer behind faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands May 22, 2008 Bottle @ Café Viking, Cph. Served in a trappist glass. Pours a clear deep red-brown colour with a very nice steady creamy long lasting beige head leaving a good sticky lacing. Aroma of some yeast and well toasted malt, some dark fruits and alcohol. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is rather mild for a dubbel with a good bitterness, a good well toasted maltiness and some dark fruits. abcfan (247), New Jersey, USA May 18, 2008 Not a fan of this one. Pours a ruby-brown hue with thick off-white head. Aroma is banana, bread and dark fruit. Taste is very smooth, more banana and bread. Finish is very bitter/acidic/metallic. this would be a decent brew if not for the horrible finish. Would not seek out again. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 15, 2008 Poured a dark brown hazy color with a little off white head. Aroma was a bit fruity but with a nice malty finish. Flavor is a bit acidic but malty at the same time. mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland May 11, 2008 (0.33 l bottle on 2008-04-04) Dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Fruity nose with some malts. Acidic palate. Taste contains caramell and liquorice. Full bodied. PhillyBeer2112 (2084), Orange Park, Florida, USA May 7, 2008 As if I hadn’t learned my lesson from the previous van Steenberge beer I just tried, this one foamed so much it overflowed my glass. Twice. Less of a stiff meringue type head and more just alot of dense bubbly foam. Dark ruby tinted brown, cloudy. Fruity aroma with notes of banana, mango and a little brown sugar. Banana and sugar flavors, with a light dry finish that has a little touch of tannins and tart acidity. Aftertaste is somewhat metallic. afireinside96 (817), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 30, 2008 330 ml bottle poured into a Duvel glass. pours a murky brown with an audible large beige head. smells of cinnamon, raisins, and fruity esters. a whole lot of raisin and caramel in the flavor as well as some brown sugar and light spice. full bodied and long lasting head. finishes pretty clean, just a tang of hop bitterness. not the best dubbel I have ever had but it is very solid.
