Commercial Description:
Has a very distinctive bouquet: yeasty, fruity and slightly smoky. In palate, it has notes of port, raisins and black chocolate. Editor's note: Apparently production has moved from Van Steenberge to du Bocq as of Sept 2007.

Smells lightly of yeast and some sort of fruitiness? It is foamy on your tongue, with a crisp, lingering aftertaste. Tastes mildly of chocolate raisins (or raisons d’etre). On the whole, a high quality brew. Possible downsides: a bit (too?) effervescent, possibly not the most desirable taste to some.

0.33 l bottle which poured dark brown-reddish body with big brown head. Aroma of some slightly sourish fruits, but of course also malty, mostly in the sense of caramel. Flavor is even better, bit sweet with caramel and chocolate enriched fruitiness. Finish is quite short, but as nice as the whole beer, more or less reflecting the flavor. Great beer indeed.

Aroma de cravo e malte. Doce (caramelo), um pouco metalizada no paladar. Falta caráter, mas uma boa cerveja.

12 oz. Bottle best before February 15, 2009. The pour is a dark red/brown with a very nice white head. The amount of generic beer in the aroma is surprising, it’s not necessarily bad, I just don’t expect the typical grainy nose in Belgian brews. As the beer warms, everything gets better. A whiff now reveals more chocolate, raisins, and soft spices. I thought the palate was a bit thin, but again improves once it raises up to cellar temp. Delicate chocolate, bready and spiced notes make up the flavor with a surprising suggestion of lemons. I don’t usually get any strong citrus out of a dubbel, but I found it quite prevalent here. The sweetness is appropriate, sadly reminds me of soda, but never becomes sticky or cloying. This is a predominantly malty brew but isn’t notably hearty. It’s a fairly delicate beer and enjoyable.

A big bottle gotten as a gift. Very foamy - attractively fruity aroma leads to a cola-sweet flavour that is somewhat two-dimensional but very competent. Nice lingering aroma of yeast and spice. Pretty decent but forgettable.

Garrafa, em Utrecht (HOL), em novembro de 2007. O rótulo é pintado! Coloração avermelhada, com excelente creme bege, consistente e persistente. Fermento. Algo doce. Cravo e frutas vermelhas. Malte caramelo e lúpulo discretos. Muito bem balanceada. Suave. Presença de metálico. Levemente amarga e seca.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown color not unlike a root beer. Fruity aromas that im not expert enough places. Tastes like it smells. Not a bad thing, i just wish i could place it. The closest i can come too is Chamborg liquer but not nearly as sweet. It’s creamy on the palate but finishes dry. A very wierd, but good brew.
