2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
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
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
