Pours muddy dark brown with BIG beige head. Aroma is fruity, roasted, some chocolate and coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Sweet and malty - not very vinious, some raisins and a touch of vanilla chocolate. Warming and complex.

Bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Pours cloudy brown with a foamy, tan head. Aged malts in the aroma, ripe dark fruit, cake. Very sweet flavor, big notes of brown sugar and toffee. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Sweet, sticky finish. I thought this was awesome.

Big bottle (ChrisO Pre-GBBF2011 "Donkey Dork Lord" Shindig)
Amazing old ale or barleywine aroma. Raisins and sugar cover the 8% well. Stunning rich and balanced barley wine. So much raisin. Brilliantly aged to perfection.

Vielen Danke an den Doppelbock!
Röstmalziger, etwas süßer Geruch, anfänglich auch süßlich-hopfig, zunehmend schokoladig-herb, schon der Geruch ist voller Aromen, absolut fantastisch! Schokoladiger, sehr malziger Antrunk, zunehmend würziger werdend. Dabei scheint die Im Mittelteil vorherrschende Würzigkeit von malzigen und röstmalzigen Aroman fast schon eingekesselt. Schokoladiger Nachgeschmack, der das harmonische, komplexe und voluminöse Bier abrundet. Im Nachgeschmack erlebt das Bier zudem eine deutliche Intensitätssteigerung. Meisterstück.

Swintop bottle. Entered to celebrate my daughters 5 yo birthday. It pours deep dark brown with a very creamy dense tan head leaving amazing lacings. The aroma is loads of dried dark fruit like prune, raisins and dates. Notes of sweet caramel, tobacco, toasted malt and brown sugar. Very nice. The flavour is sweet caramel, dried fruit, light hops, brown sugar and belgian yeast. Long ripe fruity finish. Very good!

Bottled. Reddish brown coloured. Light brown dense head. Berries, caramel, fruits and light flowery notes in the aroma. Flavour of caramel, fruits and herbs. Nice body. Quite balanced and a bit on the short side hoppywise for a Ølfabrikken beer, but I like it. Is caramelly and fruity in the end. Really good one.

A very good dubbel, especially for one made outside of Belgium, because this style seems to be a challenge for many non Belgian brewers. Anyway, there is alcohol and sweet malt in the aroma. The flavor has more malt and some sugar, some yeast, as well as fruit. Great, thick palate, the way I like the style
