11.2 oz stubby bottle. Lightly hazed dark amber with a huge light beige head. Big sweet fruity nose, sweet apple and raisin. Mildly tart flavor, raisin and apple, some honey notes, and caramel and light brown sugar. Fat beige lace. Pretty drinkable dubbel.

Shared by Naka. Gusher. Pours brown with huge khaki head. Nose is soy sauce and caramel with slight smoke. Taste is caramel with fruity notes, apple, pear, slight butter and mild bright citrusy, lemon notes. Mild bitter and a touch of astringency. Just OK.

Light brown reddish in color with a decent beige colored head. Smell is malty, belgian, somewhat sweet. Taste is sweet like, malts, touch of hops, and some spices. Sort of boring.

Pours a dark brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of malts, dark fruits, yeast and a hint of spice. Flavour about the same with some hints of sugar and molasses. Mild spicy finish.

Dark brown with a beige thick foamy milkshake head that thins but stays foamy and floats on top. Faint yeasty aroma. Sweet, malty, yeast taste. Very refreshing and hides 7% alcohol well.

33cl bottle. Dark ruby brown, frothy pale head. Yeasty, quite dry aroma with mild spiciness, cellar, rotten banana and wheat. Like a bad dunkelweizen. Dry herbal flavor, yeast and wheat with a bit acidic, berry-like finish. Quite light bodied, overcarbonated spritzy palate. There’s not much likeness with the standard dubbels here.
