3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
0,75 l. bottle from the supermarket. Corked bottle - always festive when the cork pops off. Dark brown colour with ruby hues, creamy light brown head, that settles fast. Malty, roasted aroma with notes of grains, dark fruits, prunes and chocolate - I am thinking Danish brown christmas cookies! Lots of yeasts here, as usal in good Belgians. Sweet taste with lots of malts. A little to bit sweet for my tastebuds, but still a well made beer with lots of body, and a long lasting finish.

Pours dark ruby red with medium lasting head, leaves some lacing. Aroma is earthy malts, belgian yeast, some ripe fruits, notes of spices and some citrus. Flavor is spices, yeast, caramel and some lightly sour fruits. Full-bodied and sticky, lots of carbonation, some sourness and a bitter finish. Enjoyable and not too sweet.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 6, 2011 33cl bottle. Pours murky brown with a generous head. The nose has toffee but mostly this is cake mixture. The taste has fruit cake, with a lemon zest ending. The palate is medium to large with a big strong texture and a tangy ziny finiah. Overall, a nice beer wtih balance though would have liked a bitl

Very nice malt aroma with fresh notes of lemon and yeast. The flavor is sweet malty with hops and yeast aroma. Unfortunately, relatively short and somewhat neutral aftertaste.

Bottle (from the november 2005 RB-tasting at Dixens place - notes have been damaged by flooding of my basement, but this was such an insane tasting for me as I was new to such massive tastings, so I gave up on the detailed notes quite early). 1995 version it says in my notes? Toffee aroma. Velvet, sweet, light raisin. All I could read...

33 cl bottle @ Arboretum Park, Tampere. BBE 27.04.12, 6.5%
Sourish aroma has some spices and the certain character of an aged belgian ale. Flavor is sour and refreshing - good! It contains some spices and the perfume-like aroma of an aged belgian. Very good dubbel, although not very typical to the style. Sourness is the big thing here. I like this even more when this is fresh, without the perfume.
