sebletitje (4391) - Enghien, - JAN 25, 2012
draft @ Delirium. A dubbel, more like an easy to drink flemish red or sour brown. Ambrée, col beige fin laissant des bulles style champagne. Arôme léger pointe de bois/chêne, notes de baies rouges, malt grillé. En bouche, très légère et agréable à boire, mélange entre une pointe aigre très légère avec un mélange fruité rouges de baies allant vers la fraise, le tout sur un malt grillé voire biscuité et caramel. Petite aigreur donne un palais un peu poivré sur la langue avec un fini boisé et de baies rouges.

Bullit (3284) - Burgos, SPAIN - MAY 21, 2012
Bottle from Venerables. Clear brown colour, beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, candy sugar, fruits. Flavour is caramel malts, fruity, brown sugar, bit of spices. Sweet finish. All in all quite artificial, made like a mediocre parody on a dubbel.

AlainG (242) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 6, 2012
Bière brune opaque ayant une tête mousseuse se dissipant lentement. Des odeurs de vinaigre balsamique, de fruits rouges, d’épices, de poivre ou encore de vieux bois en émanent. Goût surette, de cerises, âcre, de vieux grains, de vieilles céréales. C’est plutôt sec en bouche. Étrange, je suis porté à la comparer à une Duchesse de Bourgogne qui n’est pas réussi, ou encore au porter de la brasserie Schoune. Un peu surpris, mais tout de même une expérience. (221-210412)

rosenbergh (3486) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAR 18, 2012
330 ml bottle. 5.0%. From finestshop.be.
Dark reddish brown colour with tiny tan head. Coke, mild sourness and fruitiness in aroma. Flavour is nice combination of sweetish dark maltiness and sourish berry fruitiness. Enjoyable. Could be even a bit more sour but still nice one. Balanced and rich. Turns slightly thin when warms.
