Thanks to bierkoning for that one. Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass not too dark, nice head. Starts strong malty, warming, fine spicy notes. Also some hints of nuts. Finish well balanced, still warming. Nice!

Draught @ OSF’12: Medium creamy light tan head, stays long on top of a murky dark amber brown Smell hops, soap, little crisp, sweeter grains, malts, barleys and rye Taste toasted barleys, toasted herbs, malts, rye, herbs and some hops. Aftertaste has a nice bitterness with toasted herbs and some darker fruits. Low carbo, creamy soft light oily mouthfeel, medium body and a creamy light sticky texture.

Bottle @ home. Same 6pack as benzai, no signs of a gusher here. The beer itself is pretty active though. Colour: Deep orange/amber to red brown colour. Smells sweet, typical ’dubbel’ smell, caramel, alcohol and licorice. Tastes pretty heavy.. Sweet, fresh, alcohol and deeply caramel. Full body. Palate is a bit too active for me.

Bottle @ home. Almost a gusher. When I first poured it about 2cm of my glass actually had beer, the rest was an almost clear white foamy head. Copper amber colored beer. Smell earth, ash, caramel, nuts, raisin. Taste caramel, hay, raisin, light sweetness, lightly bitter, little bit dry finish. Body medium, lively carbonation, lightly sticky texture.

Bottle, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Pours caramel amber with a medium, staying, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has good bit of caramel, red berries, plums, light chocolate. A bit of alcohol. Highish carbonation, dryish and a bit thinish. Flavour is mildly metallic, but good caramel base, red currants, quite a bit of coriander, light chocolate, a hint of viniousness. Very drinkably dubbel.

Unclear brown with a large beige head. Sweet yeasty aroma with roasted malt. Flavour was sweet with roasted malt, spices and yeasty notes. Finished somewhat sweet.

Bottle. The aroma is very sweet, malty smell of bread. The white foamy head is very large but not long staying. The body is dark red to brown. The taste is bitter, the finish is metallic. The carbonation is lively, the body is light to medium and creamy.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a dark red/brown colour with a huge size head and loads of carbonation. Aroma is mostly masked by the thick thoamy head, but can still detect some nuts and malts there. Flavour is a nice gentle mixture of malts and dried fruits. Goes down with a touch of warmth.
