33 cl, bought in Amsterdam. Not an optimal bottle, signs of bacteria infection. Complex beer with sweet fruit - banana and peach. Yeasty finish.

Bottled(330ml). -Murky amber coloured, medium pale brown head, honey alcoholic nose. Aroma is yeasty and caramelly with notes of lemon, orange and spices. Sweet and slight alcoholic in the finish. A way too thin to be a good Dubbel.

Bottled. Hazy amber, large white head. Some sourish choclate-ish aroma. Warm alco-feel with chocolate and licorice.

(Draught at Brouwerij ’t IJ, Amsterdam, 3 Aug 2009) Cloudy amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark bread and dried fruit. Malty taste with prunes, raisins, caramel, dark bread and a moderate, spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, rather sweet. Decent, but nothing exceptional.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized long lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained thick carbonation, was very hazy with a colloidal suspension and brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of yeasty brown malt. Its mouth feel is initially tingly vinous and thick with a lingering tingly palate. Its flavor contained thick yeasty mild brown malt slightly sour vinuous notes.

Thanks retro42! Copper color with no head. Good malt and caramel aroma. Sweet malt taste and a little yeasty/spicy taste.

Good aroma, malty, sweet and fruity. Looks are great; Cloudy, brown coloured, lasting, creamy offwhite head. Taste is initially malty and fruity, beacomes more bitter and metallic in the end. Pitty!

Bottle. Hazy amber/brown with small off-white head. Flavour is malt, yeast, caramel, fruit, hops, light nutty and little bitter.
