The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

No#9. (1989). Aroma is sweet and malty. Taste is same with fruits kickin in however a bit overpowering because of the sweetness. Too old i think a bit syrupy.

On tap. Creamy and compact foam, optimal persistence. Hazy yellow color, enough firm and slightly little bubbly. Alcoholic and strongly bitter scent. Little harmonious and unbalanced. Unpleasant taste, overbearing bitter and with light malty and medicinal rumors. Much alcoholic and spiced, light flowery rumors in the end.

Bottled. Vintage 1989. Body is garnet in color with speckles of sediment floating within it and the frothy cream colored head. Nose is a bit grainy while retaining the rich malt aromas and lighter caramel notes it had when fresh. Some hints of watery cocoa as well. Taste is light caramel with milder maltiness and stronger grains. Some intermittent oxidization. This is a bit past it’s prime. Body is light but still rather creamy. Finishes with malt, and light caramel-like sweetened notes. Good, but as mentioned, a little too far past it’s prime.

Strange yeasty aroma. Relatively light in body for a doppel and light in colour as well. Light nutty, buttery flavour. Not a good example of the style.
