Pours amber color with saturated orange and coppery hues and a huge bubbleish, lively beige head. Moderate aroma of alcoholic dark fruits with sweet almondy and woody notes. Sweet and alcoholic toasted malty, estery fullnes leads to a dry, oaky finish with a bit hop bite. Lots of caramelized fruits rules the flavor. Alcohol presence should be a lot more subtle. The mouthfeel is pleasantly smooth with active carbonation. Is this really an Abbey Dubbel? Strange, and not too balanced but enjoyable.

Bottle 50 cl from GBBF 09. Aroma: alcohol, pear, some green apple. Body is too thin and aftertaste is alcoholic. Taste is not so bad, with some fruitiness and brown sugar maybe.

0.5 l bottle, thanks hanniku! Hazy reddish brown color. Sweet aroma with caramel, candy,, almonds, apple and rum. Sweet caramelly and nutty flavor with resiny bitterness, almonds, wood or cork, pepper, red wine and rum. Spicy bitterness in the finish. Has some peppery spiciness but overall this tastes very british, especially the caramel malts. Not completely in balance but overall very interesting and artisanal beer.

Bottle, purchased at Meenan’s in Dunedin. Dark ruby amber with a masive parfait-like head that collapses into chunky flotsam. Initial aroma is predominantly cooked apples, but as the head recedes a strong spiciness becomes prominant. Flavours of marzipan and orange brandy, quite spicy and boozy. Long finish with some boozy alcohol in the finish that warms the throat. A sipper to be sure, but quite nice.

Deep brown with big bubbled light cream head. Does definitely have a Christmassy feel to it. Or is that me? Alcohol is very present but that satisfies the tramp in me. Mince pie like smell, dark fruits, berries, plum. Not bad but there are more palatable beers I’d rather drink next time.
