Nov 8, 2009 Bouteille de 33 cl. Arômes de levure rappelant le cidre et le pain frais. Robe orangée, légèrement trouble, très belle mousse et effervescence très active. En bouche, l’effervescence donne une très belle texture à la bière et la rend facile à boire. On remarque un malt moyennement rond et légèrement sucré et une belle touche de levure fruitée (abricots). L’alcool est apparent en finale, mais bien intégré aux autres saveurs. Une très bonne belge forte.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottled at Plan B. No BBE found. Starts with a basic gush, flakey amber, fizzy but staying white head. Nose is candi sugar, cellar, little honey, vanilla, some Dolle-yeast; earth and licorice. Flavor is pretty similar to aged dulle teve, a tad hot, very spicy, some cellar and sweet sugariness, black pepper, spices linger on. Medium to full bodied, tingly strong carbonation. Drinkable, but nothing really shining through, except for that cellar.

Oct 21, 2009 Extremely carbonated pour, hazy light apple cider color with a big frothy white head that is slow to dissipate. Aroma also holds apple cider, pear, yeasty dough, a bit of Belgian spice, and a bit of orange rind, and some tartness that applies itself to the fruit qualities. Flavor has great Belgian yeast qualities, good tart citrus, pear, and apple, and some sweet honey notes as well. Finish holds a lot of booze; the 10% really adds a nice warming quality. Palate holds lots of the carbonation from the pour, and slides across the tongue with good presence, but not too much thickness. Really a nice BSA light; De Dolle continues to impress me.

Oct 21, 2009 Pours like apple cider with copious billowing white topographic foam. Aroma is spontaneously fermented applejack, pear, dough, citrus, tart peach, and nectarine. Flavor is quite fruity- tart nectar is followed closely by an ester filled yeasty dough profile. A honey like light sugar profile yields tart fruit and prevalent booze. Palate is medium bodied and highly effervescent, making way for a pillowy, warming finish. Super unique and interesting.

Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. 11.2 oz. Pours cloudy orange with a thin, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, hazelnut, vanilla, and hints of malt. Very hollow, weak mouthfeel with a clean, warm finish. Decent Belian strong.

Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. Amber beer with a huge off-white head. Sweet malt and caramel aroma with yeast, light spice, and light esters. Caramel and peach fruit flavor with yeast and light spice. Medium bodied. Caramel, esters, yeast, and light spice lingers.

Oct 12, 2009 cloudy orange, giant smooth offwhite head, creamy and super smooth, looks real nice. also nice lacings.
aroma is spicy , citrussy, sourish, very delicious.
flavor is sweet citrussy, faint caramelly, slighly sour, faint yeasty, faint hoppy bitter. real nice. however the last 3rd of the bottle was somewhat sweeter, more yeasty, peachy and bitter. so first half was 8 bordering to 9, second half only a plain 7.

Oct 10, 2009 33cl bottle. THis is the 1st de dolle I’ve had in the US that hasn’t been a gusher. Nose is exquisite - herbal spice and tart orange candy with a background of that wonderful, uniquely De Dolle yeast. Flavor has some wine grape and light honey sweeteness to start, a pleasant alcohol heat and more of that great DD spicy yeast that is certainly their trademark. Realy nice prickly carbonation and a hint of hop bitterness to cleanse. Nice one.
