Jan 10, 2005 Icing sugar, cola, floury dough in the nose. Hazy amber-brown with lasting cover of dense, small-bubbled, off-white head that leaves a patchy lace. Notes of blood and iron/rust in the flavour. Fairly bland - sweet, some soy sauce like saltiness, mild peppery aftertaste. Somewhat puckering and astringent in the mouth. Bottle (Best Before 07/05) sampled with MartinT and Rastacouere.

May 3, 2003 Drunk alongside La Gauloise's brune. Frothy head which settled into swampy pockets of the universe in creation. Nice. A muddy, unpleasant colour - rather like raw sewerage. Yeasty nose, much stronger and richer than the Gauloise. Some vanilla and cloves arise first, then the sweet malt comes through, mostly in the form of brown sugar. A soft, creamy body with very low carbonation. A strange woody, tannic spice that I couldn't pin down, along with a mild sweetness and gentle coffee. A very soothing drink. Hints of caramel and wet leather. A delicious, creamy and delicate brew with bags of wandering, indefinable aromas and flavours. I liked this better than the La Gauloise.

Jan 28, 2004 Updated: May 25, 2004Dark reddish brown color, tanned head. Malty, sweetish and yeasty, slightly spicy aroma. Sweetish-malty, slightly port-wineous and roasted flavor with a hint of metal. Medium-bodied, oily and palate with balanced carbonation. A very nice beer, but not among the best dubbels.

Mar 6, 2002 Very dark and with a stable head. Pretty standard brune - a bit more fruit flawors would have made it great.

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle (Helsinki Airport)
Dark brown, healthy tight head, red glints. Rich burnt caramel aroma at first, broadens to spicy and peppery hops. Not as sweet as expected from both the aroma and it being a brune. In fact pretty hoppy and refreshing - not sticky. No taste of alcohol. Mellow hoppy malt finish. Very solid brune.
