3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From tap at the brewpub as Broedertje Dubbel, 8%. Pours clear and golden hazzlenut brown with a small diminished off-white head. Aroma is sooth roasted caramel malty with a very minor butterish note. Sweet caramel malty as main flavour impression. Light spiced too. Mild sweet finish with a light acidic roasted note lasting into the far finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap, small tasting glass. Full bodied, rather vinous flavor. Malty sweet and caramelly, but also very fruity. Cherry but also porto-like grapes. Warming alcohol. Somewhat sharp on the tongue. Hint of licorice. Also licorice and cake dough in the aroma. Pretty well balanced.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown color, medium creamy head. Aroma of strong malts, licorice, some laurel, milk chocolate, quite good. However, taste is not as good, but is more milky and spicy and a bit sour even. In the end it becomes more like coffee with milk, but creamy. Nice try, and if they improve the taste this can be a very good one.

On draft at Hanze Stadsbrouwerij, Zutphen. Dark brown coloured. Spices, malts and ’zoethout’ dominate in aroma. Quite sweet, thick mouthfeel. Pretty heavy. Good brew, although i doubt whether i would like to have a few of these in a row.
