Redbrown pour with a tan head with good lacing. Malty and yeasty aroma. Taste is earthy, and basement-ish, with some sweetness. Okay beer but nothing more.

33cl bottle from Csak a Jó Sör - Only Good Beer in Budapest. Pours a deep brown colored body with a finger-width, creamy, brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is pretty malty sweet and mash-like with a bunch of caramel, dark toffees, dark fruits, and a touch of roast. Flavor is better. Deep caramels and toffees with a nice roasty, coffee element. Dark fruits, some bread, and just the slightest astringency from the coffee notes. Finishes dry and lightly bitter from the roasts, but balanced well by the malty sweetness. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid beer. A touch sweet on the nose, but really well balanced on the flavor with a nice roast and coffee note. Good beer.

bottle
Clear deep amber color, with slight off-white foam.
Caramel malt and dried fruit in the nose, and the same is reflected in the taste, with moderated roasted malt, bittersweet aftertaste.
Medium body, good carbonisation.
Good, belgian style beer.

on tap at pivni rozmanitost in prague. a dark shade of reddish brown and a light brown head; aroma of caramel and a hint of coffee; i somehow got quite a few darker flavours out of this with some oat and a light saltiness. steady if unspectacular

dark red colour, minimal beige head (which immediately disappear); aroma of candy sugar; taste of roasted sugar, fruity sourness and significant hoppy bitterness; my only problem is that IT IS NOT A BELGIAN ALE AT ALL (Abbey Dubbel as style must be a joke). I would have given 3.2 as score if they had not indicated it as belgian-style ale. But as a belgian ale, it’s only 2.9 (with a lot of kindliness)

On Tap/ The head is ok, the body darkred. Nice fruity taste sweet- a bit bitter, alcoholic-herb. The taste is in my opinion a little bit to alcoholic, but the rest is more then ok. 11/11/11/12/-/11

330ml green bottle bought at Csak a jó Sör in Budapest earlier this summer. Shared with Finn back home. Unclear, dark apricot coloured body. Low, beige coloured head. Spotty lacing. Smell of dark and dried fruits. Sweet dark fruits in the flavour with impact on plums. Distant bitter ending. Nice try, however it tastes a bit immature and unfinished (Tromsø, 11.09.2012).

Flaske 0,33l. Spandert av og delt med Rune under ratesammenkomst hos ham 11 Sep 12. Dyp amber. Uklar. Høyt, litt farget skum som fester seg til glasset. Fruktig aroma med innslag av krydder. Myk munnfølelse, Smaken er frukt & krydder. Ubalansert. Krydret ettersmak. Virker noe uferdig.

The Tuck-friendly is a real thrilling semi-dark Belgian flavors megspékelt ALE. Slightly cloudy reddish-brown color with 7.7% alcohol content. The thin, short-lived foam behind to explore the dried fruit, yeast and caramel malt flavor, the smell of discrete as well. A slightly bitter aftertaste, but not intrusive. Pleasantly bitter aftertaste palateful. Be careful about 8% alcohol content megtréfálhat soon!

33cl glass from sorspecialista, Budapest. Thin head. Hazy amber pour. Quite drinkable.
