A very deep ruby red on the pour, the head is light chocolate in color, creamy, reasonable in size, the lace is chumpy. Nose is malt, nutty sweet, maybe even a bit plummish. Front is delightfully sweet, the top lean, the finish is biting, soothingly hopped, dry somewhat bitter aftertaste. Ranks #588 on my current 1000 beer master list.

cloudy amber-brown colour with a fine foam; nutty aroma with notes of apple and cream; high carbonation, some sweetness but also a sour touch; creamy malty and nutty finish - good but simple

Not nearly spicy enough for my palate. A double should carry more umph... Little variation in the taste range for the Van Steenberge line.

Pours a dark brown with a quickly disappearing white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma. Silky mouthfeel reveals a malty body, highlighted by fruity undertones. Almost tangy finish. I’ve had many variations of this beer, sometimes it follows this rating, sometimes it’s like a rich chocolate chake. Odd, but an old favorite.

Dark amber color, with a big creamy beige head that disappears pretty quickly. Sweet malty vineous aroma. Flavor is sweet, malty, fruity-berries, and sour. Finish is sour and tart and a little bitter.

Bastard gushed like crazy on me and left a big mess on my desk and floor. Has a ruby body and frothy beige head. Prominent nose of bubble gum phenols, esters, dark fruit, honey and a hint of fusel alcohols. Flavor has a slightly sour strawberry quality that I haven’t detected in other dubbels. Also has a nutty chocolate flavor. Velvety mouthfeel. Pretty good beer. I’m a sucker for this style.

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.
