Bottled, filtered, 330ml at A ge Pannes, Schin op Geul, NL Limburg. Dark brown with cream head. Another I thought I had rated in the past, thank god for a PDA and a beer list. Sugary sweet dubbel without too much to overcome the sweetness. There is some malty fruitiness if you try and a touch of deep roasted malt, but I am beggining to struggle with the Belgian taste for sweetness.

Das Dubbel hat die selben Characktereigenschaften wie das Blonde - mild, frisch, süffig. Schon im Antrunk ist dieses Bier recht malig, ein herbes Aroma schließet mit säuerlichem Ton daran an. Im Nachgeschmack gewinnt das malzige Aroma wieder die überhand und ist deutlich intensiver als im Antrunk. Nicht so überragend wie das Blonde, dennoch nicht zu verachten. Test vom 17.2.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,10,9,13,9 - 9,55

A reddish brown ale with a thick creamy moka head. Nice caramel toffee aroma with orange peels notes. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt, orange peels and light hopping, treacle notes. Medium bodied. A classy dybbel. Bought at Supersol, Vall d’Hebron, 1.35 E. and tasted mid Nov. 2006.

Bottle... Hazy, deep copper ale with a large, frothy, khaki head. Terrific, cumulus retention. The nose is slightly flemish and breadsy with a heapin’ helpin’ of pear and fig. Good balance in flavor. Lightly tangy with a touch of dark fruit and cocoa. A bit metallic. Medium-bodied and barely creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes funky and bone dry.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2005 dark ruby-brown colour, little chaotic foam but a nice lacing, toffee aroma, notes of malt and alcohol, sweet and meidum-bodied, a bit oily with a sugary and caramelish finish - an easy, low-quality dubbel

Bottle: Dark amber coloured, thin but very long lasting off-white head; fruity (raisins) sweetish nose; sweet, fruity beginning, sweet flavour; quite thin bodied compared to it’s alcoholic strength; slightly bitter ending (chocolate); lacks complexity and character........

Bottle. Dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is malt, dried fruits and yeast. Flavour is male, medium sweet, yeast, dried fruits, hops, little caramel, little chocolate and hops.
