330 ml bottle - deep, dark reddish brown; lovely yeasty and belgian candy sugar aromas off the thick tan head; dank fruit and quite sweet; lots of dark fruit and almost wine-like sweetness in the flavors; mildly astringent in the finish; malty, sweet and opening up as it warms; pretty nice

Dark chestnut color, filmy head, looks pretty good. The smell is a nice malty raisin type piece and screams dubbel. Unfortunately the taste is heavily dominated by alcohol and the mouthfeel is astringent making this hard to drink. Actually I am disappointed in this beer, the alcohol was just not well integrated.

Bottle. Pours deep, solid brown. Moderate tan head. Aroma is deep and mysterious, with definite berry tones. Perfect amount of carbonation and a strong finish make this an excellent ale.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. By the time I got to this one I was seeing double. Rating it to keep track but don’t have any particulars.

Bottle at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Pours a brown color with a nice mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity and vinous, with clear notes of dried fruits and berries. Flavour is, on the other hand, very sweet, with lots of berries, milk chocolate, and a very light tartness (but not in a infected or a lambic way). Body is medium, with average caronation, texture is overall quite smooth. It’s a nice, drinkable Belgian beer - though maybe a bit young at the moment (and a bit sweet also to be really good).

Very smooth, slight metallic flavor along with the typical delicious Belgian characteristics we expect and love.

Watch out for this one!. I could drink the standard serving in about 20 seconds. Very tasty and dangerously sessionable. Keep yourself to one. As for the flavor, it is hopless and a very sweet, malty flavor that you would expect from its dark brown appearance. Sourness and fruit at the end for added complexity. Little change in flavor from beginning to end, cold to room temperature.
