Nate (2256), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 31, 2004 Carbonic sweet aroma, malty, with light fruitiness. Caramel, light chocolate. Dark red brown cloudy with light tan foamy lacing head. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet, with caramel, malty, vaporous. Finish is sweet malty and salty, with light acidity and no bitterness. Alcoholic warming. After is light sweet, salts, with light bitterness.
FatPhil (2367), Espoo, Finland Sep 29, 2008 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Nearly a gusher, small snake. Pretty damn dark, predictably absurd head.
Sweet fruit aroma, lots of esters, but also tons of CO2. Of course,
the palate is ludicrously fizzy, and requires tons of swirling,
assuming youve got the room in the glass for it. Once youre past the
CO2, theres a sweet soft malty palate with a nice nutty burnt edge.
Decent hoppy tingle too. On the burnt side for a brune, but
thats quite welcome. As it warms, theres a bit of buillon in the
aroma. A touch of alcohol too, but not offensive. note666 (223), Eindhoven, Netherlands Aug 26, 2008 330 ml bottle. brown amber colour. BIG off-white head. sweet dark pleasant taste. way to much carbonation, this is the second bottle that erupted with foam .... Grovlam (3204), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Huge egg-white head that really lasted. Excellent display of lacework. Somewhat cloudy dark amber color. Aroma of fruit, yeast, toasted malt, caramelized, hint of chocolate and a hint of sweet bread like notes as well. Some underlying spiciness and again quite complex fruity feel. Moderated sweet flavor. Sweet caramelized lingering finish. Wow what a dubbel. daknole (856), Plantation, Florida, USA Jul 27, 2008 Another rating from my notes from an order from Belgianshop.com This was a good beer. Dark reddish brown wtih a big head. Aromas of malts, dried fruits, and caramel. Alcohol was evident as the warm malty flavors hit the tongue. Sweetness, yeast, and malts are tasty in this brew. Good. BoBoChamp (735), Gent, Belgium Jul 23, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, balanced, cloudy, rocky head, good brew, the best of the Bon Secours-range
