3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 13, 2008 Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Mahogany with light red hues. Spicy aroma with cinnamon and apple, strawberries, raspberries, and toffee. Doughy, roasted flavor with some meaty overtones, plenty of dark, spicy wood and bright, tangy fruit. Medium bodied, sharply carbonated, and lucid in the mouth; finishes with some cloying honey and a sticky lick of maple. Reasonable. Thanks for sharing, Bob!

Muddy red colour with a bit of a tan head. Strange flavour reminds me a bit of roasted malts. Seems wrong for some reason. Nice flavour of fruit, fairly one-sided but it doesn’t detract.

500 ml bottle, via one of my Danish traders. Pours a clear amber brown with some garnet highlights on the edges. Excessively large fizzy brown head lasted forever. Tons of sediment in this guy. The nose is heavy fruity malt with light oxidation, a good bit of yeast, and a little alcohol. The flavor is all malt with lots of dark fruits. Finishes with a slightly earthy yeasty note and a little alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice creamy texture and soft fizzy carbonation. Just a slight clinginess on the finish makes it linger on. Overall, I thought that this was pretty good. Great depth and complexity with just a touch of aged character.

Bügelverschlußflasche: Deep fruity-vinous (dark berries detectable) nose with a touch of molasses and brandy, hazy, amber coloured, mid-sized lacing tanned head; solid sweet flavour, medium bodied; becomes drier towards the end, brandy, chocolate and roast-malty bitterness in the finish. A good one, if You like Belgian beers........

50 cL bottle. What a gusher, Morten got all soaked in this, I had to run to the bathroom to open it fully. The foam kept coming out of this so I put the swing lock back on - when I had the empty the bottle for the rest later in the evening I managed to spray the kitchen sink, window, freezer - you name it - I’m glad this is retired.
Pours hazy dark brown with a huge brown head. Heavy raisin aroma, astringent malty too. Carbonated mouthfeel. Nice liqourice flavoured with a mellow sweet note. Ends slight bitter but then again rather soft caramel malty with a persisting liqourice note.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, tasting @ yespr] Very lively opening where Jesper first sprayed him self, then sprayed me……dam Jesper…he he… Huge thick and beige head that was quickly goon. Muddy brown colour with particles in flow. Full aroma of dried fruit with notes of prune, date, and other assortment of fruity notes. Some yeast and caramelized notes. Heavy underlying liquorice. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour with light bitter notes. Fruity sweet finish. Quit nice Dubbel.
