3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nicer deep chunky dark brown body with a very potent ruby glow and a nice, one centimetre tall light brown head - very nice looking. Aroma of raisins, alcohol, metal, pit fruits, deep malt and a touch more alcohol noticeable. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence - medium flavoured with some mild tastes at first then fading to a malty, raisiny, dry and oaky and earthy finish with hints of metal. Aftertaste shows a bit of the sugars, some more malt and a bit more deep earthy bite at the very end - but still a relatively mild flavour for the style. Overall, a nice and subdued dubbel with more emphasis on raisins and dry oak notes - not amazing, but not a bad beer either! I sampled this stubby 33 cL bottle purchased from Park n Shop [International] during the Belgian Celebration at the United Centre location in Admiralty, Hong Kong, SAR on 02-July-2011 (Best by date on bottle/HK: 28 February 2014) for HK$24,90 sampled back at home in Washington on 08-January-2012 - so this beer got to travel to Asia from Belgium only to then fly in my bags back to Washington.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at home. 1 year old. Deep hazy nut-brown colour with a beige head. Nice aromas of sweet biscuits, chocolate, vanilla, spices, peach and perfume. Sweet malt also in the mouth along with leather, mild hops, maple syrup and some cake sweetnes. Ends a bit dry with some alcohol. Overall a delicious beer in both nose and mouth. Reminds me of a good christmas beer.
