Tweaking of "Dulle Teve", one ingredient having been changed: instead of the usual beetsugar, cane sugar was used. This resulted in a somewhat lower ABV: 9% instead of 10%. This beer is still readily available at Erasmus tavern in Brugge. Very thick creamy head, orang-amber beer, hazy. Oxidation in the nose, cookies-biscuit (3yrs old), typical musty DDB smell, sugar + honey, and a garden-herbs aroma. Sweet taste - but less than expected. Bitterish, more than expected, blending with the musty flavour to a very balanced beer. There is some oxidation-flavour component. Thick, oily mouthfeel. Very outspoken alcohol-burn. Long honey-flavoured aftertaste, dryer than first taste. A very likeable beer, which defies its BBdate - the hotel-inn isn't fooled and still offers it on the menu.
