3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAY 15, 2007
Bottle @ Brugs Beertje, Brugge. An unclear golden beer with small, dense off-white head. Sweetish malty and quite raw hoppy aroma. Notes of yeast and perfume. Taste is not that impressive; Slight malty with a sourish, hopbitter and mildly spiced flavor . A bit out of balance. Good body. Dryish mouthfeel. A very nice beer , but this one don’t thrill me like the other classy De Dolle beers.

Bottle. A clear golden yellow with a small, foamy and stable white head. Aroma is sweet and malty - complex and quite full in it’s feel with a youghurt feel. A warming and full mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, fresh and well hopped.

11.6 oz Bottle-Trade w/DragonStout. Cloudy, hazy golden color w/a slight white head & great lacing which lasted through the glass. Sweet floral aroma. Spicy flavor of appricots & malt, with traces of yeast & honey. Light blond appearence, but kind of a dark flavor, tastes darker than it looks. Long sweet , spicy woodsy finish. Alcohol is evedant. Good solid brew, it’s no SNSR ’05, but not much else is??

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 schuimkroaat (410) - Leuven, BELGIUM - APR 30, 2007
33 cl bottle, 10 vol. % alc, bottled / ’bbe’ ? Intransparent darkish amber with a golden shine, topped with an enormous - and lasting - white froth. Light malty aroma with a sticky flowery smell and sharp sulphury notes - like a matchstick that has just been put off. Sweet, round, juicy taste with a hint of fruit (apricot?) and a herbal finish. Sticky palate, light carbonation. The residual mouthfeel is almost whisky-like warming.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Bartzilla (474) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 28, 2007
Probably my current favorite De Dolle, next to Stille Nacht Reserva. Seemed light on the palate and the most accessible of their brews. Goes down easy and does a good job at staying there. Nice yeast pudding in the bottom of the bottle which might explain my frequent trips to the bathroom all morning.
