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.

33cl bottle, best before 08/2005. Just drank it. Pours a beautiful brown/ruby red color and some lacing. Aroma is best part, roasty with plenty of belgian candi sweetness and a bit of sourness. Beer may be a bit past its time, definite sour aspect but totally acceptable. Taste is a bit thin though - not usual dubbel - lactosy roast with some sweetness.

Amber, offwhite head. Toffe aroma with figs and some spices. Milky, malty flavor, a bit sourish and with a mild bitter finish.

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.

Tap a T´Ij, march 07. Pretty nice, raisiny, spicy aroma with a fruity touch. Taste is spicy, malty and a somewhat wine like finnish. Medium MF, filling and warming and a nutty ending. Appareance is chestnut copper with some rubby hues and a dense, creamy white head. Nice, easygoing amber ale.

The lightest coloured dubbel I’ve had in recollection. Deep apricot amber with a rocky white head with tinges of green. Fresh green stonefruit aromas. Greengages, unripe fruit and a distinct old world ale aroma. Full carbonation and an almost fruity candy type flavour at first, then it spreads and becomes more mellow and reminiscent of apple and mango juice. This is a full bodied, tasty brew that while is a little distinct in its category, is a well made, quaffable ale. Ripe for enjoyment, I look forward to my next one from this brewery.
Incidentally, I saw the interview between the late Michael Jackson and the brewery owner. I like the premise that this brewery was founded on and love your work.
