(bottle) clear brown with tall brown head; aroma: caramel, metallic, musty; taste is clean and simple with long light bitter finish

On tap from a street cafe in Brussels. Pours a pretty standard dubbel-style body; dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is caramel and candy sugar. Taste is pretty straightforward: caramel, candy sugar, dark malts and hints of dried fruit. Ok dubbel for a sidewalk break trudging through Brussels - no more, no less.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark brown some commercial sweet plain tasting Dubbel with hints of caramel.

These guys lose marks in the "appearance" department because I didn’t know what the tower was supposed to mean! Is it an A? An I? An O? Nothing at all? Had to check the fine print on the bottle to figure it out.... Good amber colour and decent head, coulda been a 4 but too bad for them! Aroma of sweet abbey barley and malts, spiciness to it. Taste is soft barley, caramel, sweetness, alcohol. Kind of like a softer tripel or a strong dubbel. All right.

light brown, white head. aroma and flavors, is malty, fruity, light tart, prune, mild caramel malt, brown sugar, dark fruits. The finish keeps a mild unripe fruit flavors that seems a little off.

bottle, dark brown colour with white/beige head. Smell: fruity, yeasty. Taste: alcohol, roasted malts, dark fruits, also a bit watery and artificial. Not a bad beer, but also nothing special that makes you search for that beer.

Bottle 25 cl. Dark brown ale with medium head. Smell is spicy and a bit fruity-acid. Aroma is sweet and malty, not bad but less complex.
