A dark amber beer with a good head. It has a good fruit aroma and the flavor is very sweet - maybe a little too sweet.

Chestnut brown. Slight banana aroma. Sweetish, clean flavour. Burnt sugar and honey in the palate. Bitterish finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown, very hazy - almost opaque actually. Malty but surprisingly light in body considering the high alcohol volume. Some raisins and dried fruits in the aroma too. Decent indeed but hasn’t got the same sophistication as the besst Dubbels. 060194

Dryish, yeasty. A substandard example, wherein the flavours do not meld well together. Nor is it as stylish as most examples.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with collapsing off-white head. Aroma is fruity. Sweet fruity flavour, light sourness too, I wonder if this was clean. Finish is much the same, quite stright forward.
