Nov 9, 2004 Updated: Jul 30, 200533 cl bottle. The head is just unreal, large and puffy off white and dense. Maybe the Oerbier glass wasn’t the best choice here. I love making mountain designs when pouring stuff like this. Aroma is both malty and bready along with fruits like plums and cherries. Taste is right up there with the good dubbels with just a bit of sourness and pepper. Taste is cloying with over ripe banana and chocolate. I got more of the yeast flavor in the back end. This stuff is good.

Nov 7, 2004 Deep reddish brown, cloudy, with a beige head. Mildly sweet, some ripened bananas, honey, and malt. Kind of dry, alcohol is hidden pretty well, lacks a bit in the body. Not bad.

Nov 2, 2004 Rusty chestnut brown with a full head. Aromatically the same as the trippel but with a tad more chocolate and banana. It’s sweet and clean with no aftertaste that mars the trippel. Honeycomb is present. A bit bitter... but very good.

Oct 24, 2004 Very malty and honey aroma. Blended palate, smooth at first, some alcohol and slight bitter malt aftertaste. Not as good as the triple, but an allright beer.

Oct 24, 2004 Dark, malty color with a decent head. Fair aroma of dark fruits, malt and a litte caramel. Initial taste is sweet, flavor is subtle. Fairly smooth just the overall character of a double ale isnt there. Hops are faint, malt presense takes over. A drinkable beer just woudnt want to fast on it for 40 days.

Oct 18, 2004 Hazy, muddy brown coloured body with a dense tan head. Aroma of malt, raisins, caramel and some nuts. Medium-bodied; Odd cardboard flavour with some malt and raisins coming through. Aftertaste dry and bitter-a bit offensive. Overall, decent but not the best dubbel i’ve had! I sampled this 33 cL bottle from a bottle shop purchased in St. Kilda (Melbourne), Australia.

Oct 18, 2004 Murky muddy looking body with a light brown/tan coloured head that poured out rather large and hung around. Aroma was of ripe fruit, caramel and alcohol. Smooth on the taste with the alcohol being noticeable but not offensive, malt, burnt characters, some fruit and a chalky finish.
