| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 10, 2002 Updated: Dec 10, 20092009-11-28, 3 years old, 8% ABV, 8-5-7-3-15=38 Of all De Dolle beers, this must be the most lively; it pours a bright golden color, one finger, under a cloud of foam. The malt aroma is spicey (coriander, mild cloves), with honey undertones, sweet; very interesting. The flavor is sweetish, malty, a bit spicy; the bitterness has been attenuated, and the alcohol increased. It’s a perfectly mature beer, even if it may have lost some hopping.
2003-05-10, 7% ABV, 8-5-9-5-17=44 Golden to amber color. Very nice aroma, with hop, old hops, wood. Great taste, complex, malty, perfectly balanced, with some fruitness, caramel. I didn’t expect so much, De Dolle is great.
2002-08-10, 7-4-7-4-14=36 Pale amber colour, clean, creamy head. Classic aroma for these beers, of malt, candy sugar, hop, light wood cask. Dry, bitter and pretty sour; tart, astringent. The palate is as well dry, bitter, astringent, a good digestive. KimJohansen (7303), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Hazy golden color, huge white head, lace. Strong nose: yeast, leather, peach and paperbag. Full-bodied, warming, alcohol kicks in the middle. Lemon hoppy flavor with licorice in the edges. Carbonated mouthfeel and typical DDB character in this. Another masterpiece from DDB.
