Dark, reddish brown with a huge, golden, lasting head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of plum, dark fruits and caramel. the flavour is lighter, less sweet and more refreshing than the average dubbel. It has notes of roasted malt, caramel, fruit and a citrussy finish. A nice and complex beer, that absolutely should not be enjoyed too cold, rather a bit too warm.

Sep 20, 2008 1999 bottle at Kulminator, best before August 2001. Dark brown with a smallish, but perfectly steady, beige, creamy head. Tart fruity raisins aroma, dry dusty cellar character. Chocolate, raisins, cellar and a slight hint of metal towards the finish. Still quite fizzy, but probably lost some body during the years. Very good.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle from Dranken Geers. Russet, thin beige head. Some Belgian yeast on aroma. Some syrupy dry malt. It’s not a great dubbel, to be honest. Bit too sweet and the malt tastes as though it hasn’t been fully attenuated. Bit of candy sugar. I’m not against it, nor does it taste nasty, but it’s a little basic maybe. Some butter/toffee.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. A very mediocre dubbel, a bit on the malty and brown sugar sweet side, some dark fruits. Dry mouthfeel.
