3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Cloudy amber colour. Light malty/hoppy/yeasty aroma. Ok flavor, but overwhealming mangonotes like other ’t IJ beers. Average finish. Oily palate but way too fizzy.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, amber to copper colour with a medium-sized and slightly beige foamy head. Yeasty spicy and sweet cara-malty aroma with berry-fruity and nutty notes. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Cara-malty, slightly toasted and moderately fruity taste with notes of berries, cacao and a nutty touch; moderately sweet malty and hop bitter finish with caramel and subtle fruity notes in the aftertaste. Interesting but lacks a bit body. 19.XII.10
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.
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.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Brouwerij ’t Ij, Amsterdam on 3 April 2011. Murky dark copper-orange colour. Quite spicy. A little sweetness initially but develops a herbal bitter tang - hints of angostura - later. Some toffee / caramel and hints of stewed plums on the palate. Dryish, fairly firm mouthfeel, which is not always the case with Abbey Dubbels.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured,some floaties visible, gushing, but very stable creamy off-white head; fruity and sourish cellary nose, backed by some sweet malt; moderate sourish-sweetish flavour, medium bodied, creamy MF; sourish-malty finish with an increasing bitterness towards the end. Pleasant..........
