3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: APR 28, 2006 Bottled (BB 08/2006)
Borwn color, not much head. Lemony, sweet sugary aroma. Medium-bodied, fruity, chocolaty, some grassy hops. Unfortunately this all is made in quite boring way - "commercial abbey dubbel" - type of brew. Some alcohol in the finish. (6/3/7/3/12 3.1)
Re-rated, bottled (BB 10/2007)
Red ruby color, big tan head. Sweet roasted sugar aroma with some coffee beans. Medium-bodied. Quite sweet, added kandi sugar here. Chocolate, grassy hops hiding the background. Sweetish aftertaste. Too much sugar, I wonder what ageing does to this one. (6/4/6/2/12 3.0)
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Brown with a creamy head, that did not last long, but left some lacing. Aroma is full of toffee and liquorice. Soft, medium body, a bit oily. Rather sweet flavour, but not excessively so.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at the PINT beerfestival. A lot better than Batavier. Malty beer with caramel present and some fruitiness, and I bit sweet for my taste, but quite nice overall.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Ambrée allant vers le brun, peu de mousse. Arômes de houblons semblant de style anglais, herbacé, quelques pointes de caramel et forte présence de levure. Peut-être dû à l’oxydation présente dans cet échantillon, les flaveurs rappelant l’étrange sensation de boire à même un baril de bois, style vieux cask. Donc, boisée, présence de caramel torréfié, sucre brun et aussi de cuivre usé. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince semblant quelque peu aqueux. Les flaveurs ne semblent pas vouloir s’accommoder. Très ordinaire!
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very doughy, toffee, caramel aroma with underlying black cherry fruitiness. Opaque deep brown with a shy cover of off-white head that recedes immediately to ring. Sweet black cherries, brown sugar and caramel. Medium-light body is somewhat watery with low carbonation. Tulip, just above fridge temp. Bottle (trade, Jun-2005). Thanks, radiomgb!
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours with a nice cascading action resulting in a creamy head. Very sweet aroma, milk chocolate, cherries, toffee. Flavour isn’t nearly as complex or interesting as the nose. Sweet finish. Cheers!
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Deep amber in colour. Aroma was earthy, some wood, malty - mainly dough - and some ginger. Flavour had notes of ginger and mint, earth, and caramel malt. Slightly sweet, medium body and carbonation. Finish is medium lenger, mild bitterness.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bright reddish-brown colour. Aroma of black cherry, raisin, toffee. Simplistic sweet character. Sweetish, fruity, slightly toffeeish finish.
