2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear copper brown from the bottle with light lacy head and lacing. Aroma of Belgian yeast, dark fruits, dark toasted malts. Taste follows, more of the esters and less the malts. Pretty solid for what it is and the availability.

Flott balansert belgiske brun. Lite lukt men god på smak. Flott skum. Deilig mørkt øl som kan nytes på sommer som på vinteren.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
I prefer this to the Blonde but enjoy both - albeit only occasionally. A reliable Belgian brew to contrast with my usual Anglo ales.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nut brown colour. Aroma of brown sugar, plums. Soft brown sugar maltiness. Very light dusty yeastiness, plummy slightly cherryish esters and dark malt notes. Sugary finish. Simple character but effective in small doses.

1.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Seems to score high but the flavour seems off. Bottle pours decent brown with a strong aroma. Not for me, but what I would expect from a Belgium brew.

33cl bottle from Systemet.
A firm and lasting head. Nectar for gods and humanoids. A multiplicity of flavours like a mixture of ale and mead.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Deep copper, moderate to large finely bubbled foamy head, creamy white, super sticky lacing. Faint musty aroma, whole wheat like breadiness, a bit sweet, very faint roastiness. Pretty muted on the tongue, faint dark pitted fruit, mainly a sweet whole wheat bready like flavor. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Light finish, hardly the punch or pow of a normal Abbey Dubbel. Not bad, but overall a bit too light. Has the mustiness, but not the hearty dark pitted fruit or body to pull it through.
