UPDATED: FEB 23, 2013 Re-rate: On draft at Het Oude Gasthuis, Amsterdam. More roasted malts than i remembered, somewhat sweet and more bitter towards the end. Not very complex, but not bad either. Original rate: On draft at Beerpassion Weekend 2006, Antwerp. Dark brown coloured, medium head. Very sweet malty flavour. Finishes bitter. Not my kind of dubbel. (2.5)

Tap, beerpassion 2006. Dark color, medium head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel. Very sweet taste, bit sticky palate. Too sweet for me.

Dark brown coloured, with an rather small off white head. Malty-yeasty sweet caramel aroma, medium to full body. Finish is more bitter-sweet, with again the more caramel like flavor and some very light alcoholic touches. The blond one is slightly better, but this is also a good one.

Deep copper with large off-white head. Mild roasted malt,bitter grains, malty and medicinal.

I thought that this was right on par with the Brugse Zot. Dark, caramel flavors and slightly chewy. Not close to being one of the best dubbels I’ve had but a more-than-adequate regional experience.

This beer has a dark brown body - hue apperance and a fine light brown scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the tab and it had a no carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is like water with a light bitter afther tast. The beer was to cold served

Tap@Poechhenellekelder, Brussels. Malty and sweet. Lightly bready malt, with some chocolate, caramel and brown sugar sweetness, finishes relatively hoppy, which gives it some balance.

Draft. Ruby colored brown. Nose is malty and sweet with caramel notes, cocoa, and dark fruits. Taset is sweet malts, light floral notes, cocoa, dark fruity flavors and light spice. Body is light-medium with a moderate carbonation feel. Finishes with more sweet malts, light caramel, cocoa, dark fruit (figs, raisins), and light floral notes.

Draught at Brugs Beertje, Brugge. Brown coloured. Malty and fruity aroma and flavour. Slightly sweet. Some metallic notes in the finish.

(Draft. 03/2006) Relatively thin, brown version of the zot. Some spicy notes on the nose with hints of candi sugar. Peppery notes. Some note of hops. Thin malt-base with strong candi-sugar tastes. Some bitterness. Strong, unpleasant metallic taste lingering well after the glass is finished.
