Clear dark amber. Aroma is dominated by butter/diacetyl and sweet malt. Flavour is ashy malty with a malty, dry bitterness. This is a beer with both sweetness and bitterness. MesandSim (5979), London, Greater London, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2005 A Mes rate:
Damn this scored a LOT higher than I thought it would. Its the smell that makes this one. Like cola cubes and rhubarb and custard and other sweets you used to have as a kid. A little pineapple in there too maybe. Slight bit of funk and yeast. Nuts are present too. Sweet, creamy full bodied great finish. Looks a pretty fine too. Very much on the amber side of a dubbel with a good creamy thick head and slight lace. ACE stuff, I was most surprised. stubby (326), Santee, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2005 Delicious if not totally mesmerizing. More hop bitterness than I’ve seen in most Belgian browns. More sourness and you’d have a perfect brown. Still very good. bb (2976), Martinez, California, USA
