koyu kahverengi. Çikolata gibi. köpük başta yoğun ama sanırım bardaktan dolayı çok kalıcı olmadı. Kirli beyaz bir köpük. , topraksı bir kokusu var. Damakta gazlılık ve bitiriş ise acılık ağırlıklı. çok dengeli ve rahat içimli bir bira, bardağı salladıkça kokular da ortaya çıkıyor. acılığın baskınlığı düşüyor.

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur brune-cuivrée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (prunes, notes de raisins vineux, de cerises et de figues), de sucre brun doux avec des petites notes rôties et de réglisse noire. Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures assez fruitées aux petites notes acides (prunes, figues, notes de raisins) avec un très léger goût épicé (clou de girofle) et de réglisse noire lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté de caramel doux légèrement rôti avec un léger goût de sucre brun ainsi que des notes de pain grillé puis finalement l’on retrouve un goût légèrement amer d’alcool doux avec quelques notes de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer d’alcool doux avec un léger goût de levures fruitées aux petites notes acides (pelures de prunes) avec des traces de réglisse noire et de houblon herbeux. (2006)

New Beer Distributors, NY 33cl ($5.25): Pours a brown color with a tan head. Aroma is a load of fruity maltiness, with some spice, mostly anise methinks. Taste is pretty sweet. A bunch of light licorice notes... pretty noticeable, but not extreme. Tiny bit of hops. Pleasant body. An interesting dubbel.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
pours clear copper-red with a creamy and frothy light beige-orange head, excellent retention and lacing. yeasty, spices and herbs - pepper and yes, some licorice, herbal-grassy, nutty caramel, fruitiness, very hint of coconut and booze. farmhouse, very hint of acidity, soft and constant small bubbles, medium body - oily, bold grassy and slightly bland herbal finish, along with some very spicy and yeasty notes. i cannot dispute the fact that it is quite licorice-oriented but i much prefer this than a coriander-oriented dubbel like corsendonk..
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (330 ml). Amber brown with a thin long lasting beige head and some lacing. Aroma of fruits, alcohol, brown sugar, nutty notes and major liquorice notes (too much). Taste is not too sweet but, again, there’s a little too much liquorice for my liking. Also, alcohol, fruits and brown sugar. Medium body. Warming alcohol. Balanced isn’t that good due to the amount of liquorice, but that’s still a pretty good Dubbel.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: APR 19, 2013 Summary: 2 bottles, 2 drain pours. Sharp bandaid/medecinal/chemical taste. Not much aroma but it doesn’t tell you what hell is about to break loose... The only thing positive I can say about this beer is that it is really good looking. Ugh... Reading back other ratings I wonder if it is the licorice that I am mistaking for an infection but I’m pretty positive that this beer is infected. I can’t believe a brewer would put out some over the top spicy/metallic brew on purpose...
P.S. Well, it is licorice after all. After letting this one breath for two hours it is now drinkable and even pleasant to some extent. Bumping back score into positive territory! 1.5 -> 3.2
Culprit: Overpowering licorice?
