UPDATED: MAR 3, 2006 (Bottled, re-rate, was 6-5-7-4-15=3.7) Very beautiful dark, clear and deep red color (when light shining through) with a mostly diminishing, clearly tanned head. Sweetish, roasted-malty, slightly stuffy aroma with a hint of vanilla and maybe metal. Sweetish, roasted-malty, cardboardy and dull flavor with brown syrup. Sweet, oily and sticky finish. Medium-bodied, quite thin and foamy-carbonated, syrupy palate. Not nearly as good as I remembered it - or maybe it’s gone worse. Something between a roasty Belgian stout and an amber ale. A quite boring dubbel with all the character removed.

Bottle. Pours brown (or Brune!) with a puffy off-white head that leaving a decent amount of lacing. The aroma is bready with some minor dark fruit. Taste is full of caramel and extremely sweet but has a little bitterness on the finish. The palate is medium and fits the brew well. Very good.

Dark malty yeasty aroma. Dark brown body. Thick consistency, malty with a touch of roast. Slight sour finish.

dark brown, frothy, later a bit creamy and quickly disappearing head. sweet, reminds of chocolate, in first phases of longer finish of coffee.

Hazy brown, cloudy, firm frothy head, lovely sweet malty nose with yeast, figs, chocolate and spice. Very frothy on the palate, perhaps too frothy although I love the sweet malty notes which just flow through and make this an easy to enjoy beer.

Brown, very malty, mass-produced beer. Notes of caramel and chocolate, a little bitterness but why is this so sweet?

A dark brown pour with a tan head. The aroma has notes of raisin and caramel. The initial taste reminded me little bit of Dr. Pepper soda. It is sugary sweet with malty caramel and dark fruit flavor.

Bottle. Ruby broon with a resilient beige head. A solid beer in spite of the mass availability. Textbook raisiny sweetness and candy sugar. Yeasty but not overly so. Caramelised plums and a touch of banana. Well put together.

En gammal vän. Brun, grumlig med ett smutsvitt skum. Doftar av bröd, malt, torkad frukt. Bra maltighet, jäst, kryddighet, banan mm i smaken.

330ml bottle. Dark brown color. Small white head, stays. Caramel, fruits in aroma, faint smoke. Dry dark chocolate in flavor, raisins.

330ml bottle. Aroma is malt and caramel, sweetness. Aroma is very, very dark amber, thin brown-ish head. Sweet malty flavour, light bitterness, caramel. Has a very good mouthfeel, long lasting sweet-ish, malty finish. Very good dubbel. I like it more than the blonde Leffe, specially in winter.
