Bottle, thanks to screwball. Hazy dark amber color, offwhite/brownish head. Roasted toffee aroma, mailky, some raisins, licorice, and with creamy candy notes. Malty flavor, a bit sourish and fruity, toffee notes, some chocolate and maybe some mint notes.

A rather thin and tasteless dubbel compared to what’s out there. Aroma of dark fruits but not very strong. Pour was a dark brown with barely a tan head of big bubbles. Taste was thin and unexciting. Could pick up prune, licorice and yeast but the yeast is very faint and the thin body brings out an alcoholic wine tasting burn. Reading other posts I wonder if I got a bad bottle? May try again.

Bottle. Clear mahogny, with a thick tan, creamy head. Nicely spiced caramel aroma with anise. Licorice flavours to the front, sweet and spicy. Dryish finish nonetheless. Oily and full-bodied. Very likeable, reminds me a lot of Cuvee van de Keizer, and that is meant as a compliment

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy, dark, amber golden with a beige head. Spicy aroma with some overripe fruit, yeast and alcohol. Rather full-bodied with sweetish, fruity notes, plenty of spices and a vague, metallic edge. Some warming alcohol in the finish. Quite lovely. 160507

Licorice, salt and caramel in the aroma and flavor. Laurel. The salty character realliy dominates. Malty sweetish, but certainly not too sweet. Fairly well made, not a thirteen- in- a- dozen dubbel.

(Bottled) Hazy, deep ruby red with a smallish, lemonadey and tanned, quickly fading head. Sweetish aroma of caramely malt, anise and dried fruit - like a lighter Rochefort 8. Sweetish, rye-puddingy-malty, anisey and fruity flavor with some balancing hop bitterness. Alcohol is completely hidden. Medium-bodied, slicky and slightly foamy-carbonated palate. A straightforward and easy, but quite balanced and enjoyable dubbel.

(Bottled) Dark cola color with a small but lasting head. Vinous-caramely, oaky aroma. Burned-malty, sweet, flowery flavor with some sourish oud bruin character. Medium-bodied, slightly watery (or maybe too cold) with somewhat lemonadey carbonation. Too much color malt and too light body for my taste. ABV doesn’t show, though.

Cloudy dark color, brown. Aroma of malt and caramel. The taste is sweet, round, it has a balanced bitterness.

Dark brown color. Strong malty aroma, herbs, blue cheese. Good malty body, spicy, candi sugar, candies. Very good.

dark brown colour with a big foamy head, aroma of gingerbread and hazelnut with some chocolatey notes, the body is medium at best, very creamy mouthfeel, low bitterness, long and dry coffeish and bready finish - very good beer !

Bottled. Nut brown. Sweet, rich and malty. Roasty, woody with lots of almonds. Hoppy, salty finish. Excellent!
