From bottle. Poured very dark chocolate brown. Fast dissipating off white head. Aroma of orange peels and spices. Flavor of orange peels, corriander, black licorice, caramel, and malt. Cognac, sherry like notes with hints of brown sugar in the end. Lively carbonation, fizzy mouthfeel. This one is a sipper for me.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Holy mackarel this beer for some reason lit me up. It pours with a reddsih brown color. aroams are typically Belgian, dark fruit and yeats. Flavors are not what you expect from a dubble: there is more of a chocolate note in there in addtion to yeast and caramel. fairly sweet and very smooth. Complex and satisfying,

does not count  Oct 6, 2008 Very interesting. The smell is quite strong, whatever it is beyond brown sugar. Taste lasts a long time, with a little bit of dryness at the end.

Sep 26, 2008 250ml bottle (Punavuoren Ahven, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Very dark brown, tiny tight beige head. Sticky raisiny and plummy sweet aroma. Lively carbonation. Dark liquoricey taste, very burnt and bitter, a little salty. Almost a carbonated acidity. Liquoricey finish. Maybe the carbonation’s a little too prominent and harsh. There’s also a tingly hoppy finish too. Again there’s carbonated acidity going up my nose. Later the aroma stops being sweet and veers towards salty liquorice too.

Sep 15, 2008 (Bottle at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-09-15) Dark ruby red. Small white head. Alcohol and little bit sourness in nose. Full bodied palate with little carbonation. Chocolate, alchohol, bit of sourness. sweetness and light bitterness in taste. Too young, I think.
