indruk: waterige tonen, ondanks de smaken zijn ze niet harmonisch in het totaal.

Bottle. Expired one month ago. Pours murky dark copper with creamy light brown head. Aroma is very malty with notes of apples, grilled eggplant, white wine, butter, wheat and hazel nuts. Faint hints of warn smoke. Taste is light sweet, light acidic and medium bitter in good balance. Body is light creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is medium long with notes of caramel, nuts, ripe fruit and cream.

Bottle at Huppel the Pub. Pours clear brown with a tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, over ripe fruit, raisins. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.

Bottle at Locus Publicus, Rotterdam
Beautiful dark mahogany color, creamy head. Caramel aroma and flavor, hints of roasted nuts, correct bitterness, moderate residual sweetness.
Pleasant, quite common Dutch-style dubbel.

Bottle of 300 ml, at home. Poured into a chalice. ABV is 6,5%. Ingredients are all organically grown. Very dark brown colour, which turns to a nice deep ruby colour when hold against the light . Pours a small beige head, one finger in height, creamy, with average retention. Very nice appearance, looks promising. Roasted caramelized malts on the aroma. Stewed fruits. Mollases. The taste follows faithfully the smell, caramel at first, then becomes fruity and it finishes with the malts. Overall quite sweet. Creamy, full body with light carbonation. The alcohol very nicely conceiled. Only a hint of dryness on the palate. This beer was a very pleasant surprise, I am now looking forward to try the other beers from this brewery that I have for so long in my fridge.

Fles 30 cl Kleur roodbruin, maar een kleine schuimkraag Geur hop gebrand. Licht zoet Smaak, gebrand, bitter. Warm, niet te zoet.

I like the Paulus, but the Crom Hout is disappointing. Rather flat, both in look and taste. No serious competitor as a dubbel.

Dark brown, light brown head. Aroma and taste are quiet nice with overripe fruit, caramel and a hint of smoke. But low on body.

Dark ruby browm with off-white quickly dissapering foam head, lacing to glass. Bit sweet aroma, like most DUBBELS. Taste is bit too sweet for me and aftertaste i lacking some bitterness. (Velp 201208)
