Bottle. Cloudy amber color with a average creamy good lacing mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, sweet malt, light alcoholic, licorice. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is lively, finish feel is light alcoholic.

A very powerful aroma of prunes, plums, and malt. Unclear brown with a huge though extremely fast disappearing head. The flavor is malty though sour with notes of prunes and cane sugar, very dry hoppy finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) In this early version simply called "’t Smisje Dubbel". Hazy, dark brown with a surprisingly small head. Pronounced sweetness but as always with the Regenboog biers everything is perfectly balanced by a good kick of hops. Very flavourful with the typical notes of brown sugar, roasted malts and dried fruit - I believe I can taste the dates, and the honey. This is very delicious. 070998
