3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled (BB 10/2007)
Dark ruby brown color, small brown head. Very fruity nose, loads of prunes, dates and brown sugar. Crisp carbonation. Prunes, toffee, some hops and even some licorice in the flavor. Some alcohol picks up in the finish. Nice sweetish dubbel. 10% version of this would be interesting - Rochefort influence is evident.

Dark amber colored, medium sized light brown head. Chocolate dominates this aroma with some hops and mild alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is more hopped with some flowery hayish tones, vegetable in aftertaste with mild alcohol, lemon and chocolate.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Brown colored brew. Nice roasted aroma with a bit sweetness on top. Sweet, thick taste. Malty and a bit sweet. Very enjoyable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is of roasted chocolate, toffee malts and some fruitiness. Hazy, brown coloured with a lasting, thin, beige head. Taste is creamy sweet, toffee and coffee malty, some fruits, some prunes. Medium body. Nice beer, good balance.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy brown color, medium head. Aroma of some roasted malt, chocolat, sweetness. Probably the recipe or the brewing has evolved in time, because it was very nice balanced, no strange ingredients were overwhelming taste and aroma. I’m becoming a fan of this brewery!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Brown color with a good beige head. Aroma is sweet, toffee, yeasty. In the palate you found malt, chocolate, dried fruits.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Floral and herbal aroma. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter, some licorice, herbal and a hint of vanilla, smooth. I like most of the beers of De Molen but his brewing style isn’t always compatible with the beer style. So well brewed, but strange Dubbel.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottled) Hazy dark ruby color with a small, beige head. Pretty mild, licoricey aroma with sweetish, smooth maltiness and some dried fruit. Burned-roasty, neutral maltiness with some ashes and sweetish-salty licorice in the flavor. Medium-bodied, very smooth and quite low-carbonated palate. Yes, there’s some Rochefort character, especially in the aroma - although it’s quite a bit milder than in the original. Overall a smooth, tasty and balanced, very nice dubbel.
