Bottled bought at The Green Man Stamford. A brown beer with abig white head. The aroma is sweet with malty qualities. The taste is a bit odd with sour malt and chocolate notes. Drinkable but none too enjoyable.

Poured a darkish amber brwon, with a huge off white head. Head was creamy and fizzy and tight. Aroma was like brown sugar and caramel. Taste did hiave lots of yeast, maybe too much. Some carbination. Not a great beer, too me, too much yeast, and not much else.

Nice dark colour, not too fizzy...this is my kinda beer! Definately the best Belgian beer I’ve tried! And at 8% its pretty strong stuff, without tasting too alcoholic! Less taste of the alcohol than some 5% beers I’ve tried!

Pours brown with offwhite head. Aroma is of molasses and maple syrup. Mouthfeel has a yeasty bitterness to it but that bitterness doesn’t linger long. Flavor is just too one dimensional, no esters, no malt, what’s up?

A dark, amber brown body with a huge, booming head. The head drops slowly until it’s a chunky spread of foam over the beer. The aroma is rich, lots of lemon, browning bananas, caramel and cream. The flavor is sweet and hides the alcohol well. There’s kidn of a candi sugar flavor in there as well.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown body with a creamy thick white head that lasts all the way to the bottom of the galss. Aromas of sweet malts, hops, and slight fruit. Tatse is sweet, malty, and slightly sour. Nice aftertaste!

For a Belgian double, this is oddly skinny. It looks great - pours the colour of dark rum, with a big, lasting head and great lace. The nose is promising - sweet and fruity, with some cookie-like malt characters. However, it lacks body, coming up thin and almost fizzy wine-like. Sweetish flavours and it carries its 8% abv well. Inferior to the Trippel. (Bottle)

Pours amber with a weonderful head. Fruit aroma with malty and sweet notes. Malty and fruity flavor and turns into a quite mild finish.
