3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a cloudy, caramel color with a medium, creamy, beige head. Nice aroma of spices, fruits and caramel. Good flavor of caramel, fruits and spices with a sweet after-taste. The body is medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Well done.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
330ml bottle. Thick creamy tan coloured foam head that crackles. Murky and mysterious muddy brown colour that doesn’t detract from the appearance. Sweet stewed prune and raisin aromas are rich and clinging. Smooth texture in the mouth like silk and has a long effect on the palate with fruit and spices coming to the forefront.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle conditioned, 330ml at Cafe D’Engel, Delft. Cloudy amber with white head. Quite a spicy nose with a peppery note, some sharp bitter orange notes, quite skinny then a caramel aftertaste. Nice on a warm day sat in the square in Delft.

33cl, Dutch organic brew, from Slijterij van Bergen Eindhoven, complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep amber/chestnut color, hazy. A little caramel and wood. Complex and uncommon but still subtle. A little woody, a little German in its hopping? (on tap at brewery)
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (in NZ). Plenty of spice on the nose, but ginger dominates. Was a lively pour, an unappealing cloudy light brown colour with a more redeeming foamy off white head. Fruity malt in the mouth at first, then giving way to spice - mostly pepper, but also cloves. On the lighter side for a Dubbel, but I enjoy the taste and would drink again.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from beerlando. Hazy/murky, brown, mahogany edges. Aroma has a nice balance of nutty caramel and spice, can’t pinpoint. Clove? I don’t know. Flavor is sweet through and through. Caramel, candi sugar, roasted grain, light banana bread character as it warms. Hints of spice in the finish. Mouthfeel is spritzy, falls apart a tad. Little rough around the edges, but with the spice, sort of reminds me of Pannepot.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from the brewpub. Pours hazy dark amber with a foamy beige head. Aroma of dark caramel tinged with chocolate. Full bodied with foamy carbonation. Cooked fruit and spice, but I still think there’s a touch of cacao here. Finishes a little yeasty and more bitter. Good.
