Ungstrup (11930), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 26, 2005 [At Københavnske Øldage 2005, served by Garret Oliver] A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet malty and nicely spicy, leading to a dry spicy end. An OK beer, but not as good as most Belgian Dubbels. MiP (6723), Flensburg, Germany Jun 4, 2005 Draught. Brown colour, small creamy head. Aroma has a hint of malt. Malty, sweet flavour with an aftertaste of marcipan. Creamy mouthfeel. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 11/05/1999<br />

dark brown, thin tan head, spicy aroma, rich malt flavor, nice ripe fruit character, mosyly dry, touch of balancing bitterness in the finish, needs a bit more depth but still quite tasty<br />

Emil (6077), Copenhagen, Denmark May 26, 2005 Draught. Amber colour with a off-white head. Sweet dark fruit caramel aroma and a sweet fruity light yeasty taste. Medium body and a sweet finish. Rastacouere (5421), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jul 28, 2005 Charming deep copper, lasting off-white head. Nose reminiscent of a belgian scotch ale through its slightly smoky edges, earthy fruits (dates, raisins) and estery (bananas) aromas. Interesting spicy yeastiness. Dry chocolate cookie flavors. Somehow peppery yeastiness. Well blended elements, takes some time to evaluate as the flavors are really merged up. Moderately high carbonation, satisfying medium body. Another good belgian from brooklyn.
