Slight hazy orange golden beer with a big white head. This massive Triple is very aromatic and rich in the nose, it has a soft malty aroma with hints of spices, honey, bread-dough, flowers, hops and some white pepper. There is also some spicy heat, and a complex touch of boozy Calvados. The taste is outspoken Triple like, silky and rich. It has smooth roundings, a nice touch of sweet bread and apple-cake caracteristics. This mega Triple is full-bodied, soft, rich and ends with an interesting heat of spices, wood and Calvados.

Sep 20, 2009 [9/5/08] Bottle sample at Kulminator in Antwerp after LCRBM. For some reason I was sure I had it before, so I didn’t take too much notes. Anyway: Clear golden. Spicy oaky aroma. Very spicy dry flavor.

Sep 19, 2009 After LCRBM 2009 at Kulminator. The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Golden, very zippy, creamy head. Starts mild-hoppy, modest spicy, becomes a bit drier, finish a bit woody-moldy. Interesting!

Poured hazy brown color with an average creamy head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex spicy fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy fruity balanced flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration with a small alcohol bite.
This is a standout beer.

7/16/2009: De Dolle Dulle Teve Special Reserva pours a hazy gold gold and is very lively in the glass. It has a foamy, mostly lacing off-white head. This beer smells like freshly pressed cider from a distance and has a really nice, sweet, sugary brown sugar, caramelzied pear, and a hint of vinegar when closer. It smells fantastic. The flavor has a great complex blend of caramelized malt and sugars. It is moderately sweet, warming, and carries a bit of smoke in the finish. The medium-light body and airy carbonation makes this beer feel tingly on that palate and opens up the flavors really well. Overall this is a fine beer.
330ml bottle (11% Alc./Vol.) shared by alexsdad06. Thanks Brad! Rating #207 for this beer.

vintage 2003
Pours muddy orange-golden. Some rather big floaties went into my glass. Small, fizzy, off-white head that settles and a thin, bubbly film. Stunning aroma, lots of apples, viniousness, oranges, yeast, sweet bready malts, some oaky vanilla. Highish carbonation, super oily mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of alcohol, yeast, pear, apples, oranges. The heavy bready malts still stick out nicely. The finish is dry and very wonderfully oaky. Incredibly lingering in its warming alcohol, vanilla and apple notes. Very, very good.
