Bottle. Pours rich, dark amber with a huge rocky off white head. Dark candied fruits, a hint of chocolate, tart grape skin and wet tree bark on the nose. Mouth filling carbonation, which actually distracts from the beer a bit. Lots of yeasty spice, tree bark, figs and raisins on the tongue. A forgettable Dubbel.

Poured from bottle a reddish brown with a sweet yeasty smell. The flavor hits with a brown sugar and raisans with a good acidic bite from the high carbonation. The yeast is presents with the sweetness and a good balance with the hops. The ending is a little thin and watery. This is a good beer overall. I would drink it again given the right circumstance.

33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ Feb 08. Moderately cloudy red-mahogany, abundant off-white foam which doesn’t hold too long. Aromas of quince, coffee, toffee, with a sourish touch and a hint of mint . Very rich body with a nice carbonation. Rather sweet taste with notes of caramel and fruit with a gently sourish finish.

Pretty much like the others say: Malty and yeasty, spicy.
Too much to add, too little to say :)
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JAN 2, 2008
Hazy dark brown with a huge white head and some sediment. Aroma of sweet malt and musty yeast. Sweet spicy malt taste. Some citrus and a hoppy finish. Sounds pretty good, but I was disappointed with this. None of the tastes seemed well enough defined. Result was a trifle ordinary.
