agl108 (367), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 6, 2007 750 mL bottle. Poured hazy reddish brown with fizzy head. Fruity aromatic aroma. Smooth fruity, spicy flavor. Terrific, fizzy mouthfeel that dances on the tongue. Very tasty.
JK54B (385), Finland Oct 6, 2008 A 0.33L bottle from Alko shop. Pale fast disappearing head. Hazy pale brown colour. Slightly sour not sweet malty taste. Also some hints of licorice. Some hoppiness at the end. Some medicine likeness. Wombler (11), , Greater London, England Oct 4, 2008 Bought a load of these and found that they were best left for the best part of a year before drinking. Fruity. Spicy. Dark browny reddish colour!! Easy on the tongue. This one has grown on me over the years. Pyobon (170), Sydney, Australia Oct 4, 2008 Clear reddish dark brown with some biege head. Slightly spicey aroma. Medium body with lots of light fluffy carbonation.Flavour is dark malt with some com[plex spicey tastes. A little thin on the mid-taste with some bitterness in the finish. Overall pleasant, but not subtle.
196osh (2), Kilmarnock, Scotland does not count Oct 4, 2008 My first rating... A very nice beer, one of the first belgain beers that I had to drink. In Co. Galway, strange that.
A fine beer none the less. oldbaldguy (11), , Minnesota, USA Oct 4, 2008 Nice de750 ml bottle. Nice aroma upon opening. Color is deep amber with some cloudiness from yeast. Aroma has a lot going on. I’m getting strong maltiness mixed in with some dark fruity esters such as raisin and/or dates. There are also some spicy phenols in the background, but not overpowering. Tastes very nicely balanced between malt, esters and spice. Very easy on the palate. Not as thick as expected. Overall, a top notch dubbel.
