(Bottled) Very dark, hazy brown color with a small, creamy and lacy, beige head. Rye-puddingy-malty, licoricey aroma with ginger. Spicy, licorice-malty flavor with apricot, and quite low bitterness. A roasted-malty, slightly bitter finish. Medium-bodied, not very thick, but smooth palate with soft carbonation. This one is also somewhat homebrewish and thin, but overall a very nice and smooth, balanced dubbel.

(33cl bottle best by 2011 thanks to bu11zeye) clear copper pour with thick frothy tan head. Nose of Belgian yeast, raisin, toasty, and caramel. Taste of dry grain, cracker, Belgian yeast, raisins, and fruity in general. Creamy but very dry finish.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Lots of different malts producing a somewhat muddled beer. Some chocolate. Some candy sweetness. Some muddiness. Some chalk. Some powdery bitterness - unpleasant. Plastic in the aroma. Watery mouthfeel, despite the 6% abv. You have to work hard to see much favourable in this. Tastes like a rather messy strong lager made from a mess of malts. Credit for it being drinkable.

Draft at Arendsnest. Dark brown pour with tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, chocolate, caramel and raisins. Same aspects in flavor with a little bitterness. Minimal carbonation and good balance

(33cl bottle) Pours a clear amber-brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, herbs, light cocoa, and raisins. Flavor of caramel, grain, light roastiness, and grass.

Bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Pours a clear medium orange color with a white foamy head. Aroma is a bit watery with some sweet grains and light fruit. Flavor is a bit tart with some sour grains and a small tingle.

Bottle. Dark brown, red with minimal head. Aromas are dark berries with yeast and dark chocolate. Marzipan with spices. Flavours are cheap cola with chocolate. Quite cloying with bready yeast. OK.

Draft at TBF: Light darker orange hazy color. Light fluffy off white head. Smell is a mix of fruits, hops, and malts with a hint of spices. Taste is fruity and light spicy, some hops and malts.

Bottle: Murky brown, lots of floaties visible; gushing, mid-sized - slowly collapsing - fluffy off-white head; coffeeish-carally nose with a tinge of alcohol and a touch of vegetables; moderate sweet flavour, medium bodied; sweet coffeeish-malty finish with a tinge of alcohol in the aftertaste. Very monotonous brew, sweet and alcoholic......

Bottle. It’s a slightly hazy, ruby to brown beer topped by a small, beige head. Slightly milky on the nose, with raisins doing most of the job. Dried fruits, malty sweetness and blue grapes in the mouth, medium to full body. Some higher alcohols and a decent bitterness. A bit short on the finish. A one-dimensional beer that didn’t ring my bells at all. 091016
