Bottle, 10%. 7 months past BB date. vinous, grainy aroma. Hazy orange/brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with a clear note of alcohol. Vinous with a refreshing, but perhaps malplaced citric finish. As it warms, it comes out much more malty and well-balanced.

Another Grimbergen I have tried and it is good. I am a fan of this family of beers. Certainly has a malty and dried fruits. This beer goes down very easy with a sweet and very distinct Grimbergen flavor. Very strong and a tad hot. I liked it, but I like the dubbel more.

Bottle. Sour caramel malt and alcohol aroma. Reddish brown color with moderate head. Toffee malt and astringent alcohol. Easy drinking - just not very complex.
