30cl bottle poured into a Westmalle Trappist glass. Pours dark brown with very little head. Smells like bubblegum. Tastes like bubblegum and hops. Sweet with just the right amount of bitterness. Despite the candy taste, I really like this beer. Good brew.

Dark ruby pour with nice haze and a large foamy off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, raisins, bread, a very pleasant nose. Flavor of dark fruits, bread, malt, vanilla, maple and brown sugar. Nice syrupy mouthfeel. Personally, think this one is underrated.

Pours a murky purple brown with a one to two finger creamy light tan head. The nose is sweet, dark candy sugar, rummy, raisiny, fruity, nice yeast esters Flavor has a nice dark earthy character to it, nice yeast feel, bubblegum esters, fruity, mild spicy feel. Tasty dubbel but just missing a little something to make it great.

It poured a hazy dark red liquid with a big foam, but didn’t leave any lacing on the glass. It had a nice fizzy smell of bread, dried fruit (orange) and peppery spices. The first taste hugged my tongue and it was allot smoother than I expected. The taste was very similar to the smell with the peppery spices and dried fruit. Very round and well balanced which made it easy to drink.

A dusty scent accompanies ethyl acetate and nail polish remover. Thereby too sweet.
