3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/2020 Oct 2012: 33cl bottle at the Diest Bierfestival, shared with my wife.
Dark brew with a good tan head.
Sweet and sour feel to the beer from the start: sweet malty molasses vie with the semi-souring Port and a mini-hop bitterness in the nose and the mouth. Red fruit notes in the mix as well.
Body wise the alcohol was fairly well hidden and I thought this one of the best Du Bocq brewed beers I’ve had so far.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted as Broeder Jacob Dubble Port. Nose of malts and dark dried fruit. Pours a dark amber/brown with an off-white ring and no lacing. The taste is sweet. Malts, and dark dried fruit, with a touch of alcohol in the finish. Medium-full body with smooth carbonation. Overall, smooth and warming, but too sweet to drink too much of.
