Aug 26, 2008 Bottle @ Kulminator Deep golden with medium white head. Sweet vinious aroma with caramel, yeast and ripe fruits. Sweet flavor with malty and caramel, fruity, yeast and alcohol notes. Nice!

Aug 17, 2008 33cl bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark caramel brown with thin white head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, toffee, spice. Flavor is similar but also with notes of vinegar and sour ripe fruit. Very different from the regular Teve 10 perhaps because of the way the beer aged. Medium to full body with a sweet finish.

Aug 11, 2008 A rare find. Very good beer, with aging, but considerably less so than the normal Dulle Teve. There is sweet malt, apple, toffee, and enough alcohol to almost burn my nose. The flavor has candy sugar, with a vinegary presence, some acidity in the finish. For a beer this old it was a bit disappointing.

Aug 4, 2008 ( 05 bottle, thanks Stine!) Pours a hazed orange with a white head. Aroma was very peppery, and oaky, with hints of apple skin, light yeast (not that huge bready aspect that De Dolle beers normally have), honey, and some alcohol. The flavor is quite spicy, with a lot of the bready yeast now present, and just a touch of apple skin. A solid beer, but not De Dolle’s best.

Aug 4, 2008 [’05 Bottle, thanks for sharing, Stine!] Pours very hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is apple with a lot of yeast, some oak and some notes of alcohol as well. The taste is yeast dominant with light bitterness midway through and then maltiness at the very end. Good mouthfeel with a fairly dry, long and yeasty finish. I really love most De Dolle products, and while this one was good, it wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped for.
