3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A decent Double, but not very good in my opinion. The Tripel is much, much better, but Hertog Jan still makes fantastic beers, so dont be disappointed about my rating :-)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Ceramic bottle @ home. Deep dark brown pour, foamy off-white head. Aroma of spices, roasty, brown sugar and some red wine, slightly fruity. Flavor is well balanced bitter spices and sweet sugary fruits. Nice, yet a bit simple dubbel.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
0,5 liter ’kruik’ @ home. Hazy amber/red color, average sized white to off-white head. Smell malts, sweetness. Taste malts, slightly sweet, some bitter, but a little flat as well. Low carbonation, low to medium body.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Big 50 cl ceramic bottle, 7.3% alcohol.
Pours a reddish brown that turns to ruby red against strong light. Head is rather big and off-white, diminishing slowly.
Aroma is fantastic and enticing. Strong malty and fruity aroma with a liquorish touch. Notes of walnuts, ripe cherries, cognac, nougat and brown sugar.
Flavor is sweet and beautiful, nutty with a warming alcoholic note. Some spices come through in the finish leaving a fine aftertaste.
Medium to big body, low carbonation. The alcohol is well integrated into the mix although some may think it is a little excessive.
A wonderful, rounded dutch Dubbel. It holds its own against monstrous Dubbels like Westmalle or Chimay Rouge.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had a 500ml cork stone bottle. A lot of pressure on the cork, gives a loud pop. Aroma has some malts and yeast in a spicey way. Colour is dark brown with a strong, beige head. Taste has lots of earthy malts and hints of caramel in the start, finished of by a pleasant hoppy bitterness. Quite bitter for a dubbel, but I do drank an almost expired bottle.
