4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Excellent funky barrel aroma. Amber with slight white head. Moderate sweetness, just a hint of funk and slight burnt finish. An excellent, different take on the dubbel.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle i Amsterdam.
Dark brown, hazy, with a light brown head. Aroma heavy malty (brown sugar, roasted, notes of chocolate). Flavor moderate to heavy sweet, moderate bitter, in a good balance. Medium body. Very nice.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2012 Beige head over brown body. Nuts, dried fruits, yeast. Sweetness of caramel at first followed by an interesting sourness. Good carbonation that brings a lot of aftertaste. Cheap. (Bottle 33 cl, 1,80 eur)
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Good head, brown color. Aroma is mostly watery with some malts. I where able to taste some sourness as well. Not my favorite.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Although brewery t IJ may sometimes struggle with keeping quality going I believe this is one of their finest beers. Slightly sweet but with a nice ’bite’ it is an ideal session ale (albeit strong for a true session beer). Me like!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewery. A fruity, light dubbel with some caramel and raisins. Interesting, but the least likeable of the 6 beers I tried here.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Semi-gusher. Golden brown with an indomitable dense beige head. Very cheese-cave yeasty aroma with nuts, caramel, sweet-shop and Indian spices. Taste - the spices hit upfront with a bit of bitterness. Sweetness follows (some stewed fruit, some medium sugar) then some dank sourness. Silky texture - the high carbonation combines well (or is masked by) the yeastiness. Overtly dirty yeasty things here - but I liked it..
