Well, this was a highly disappointing dubbel. Pours dark copper / brown with a rocky beige head. The aroma has sweet caramel, crackers, raisins, apparent yeast, tropical fruits and locker room funk. Medium / thin body with abrasive sharp carbonation. The flavor starts bready and metallic with 7-Up effervescence, dry caramel and some woodiness. The finish has what seems like a hop kick and it is also quite astringent. A mediocre dubbel at best.

Sep 4, 2008 Bit of fruit, honey. Not like any other Dubbel I can think of. All the aroma is there, but this odd malty taste lingers. Can’t pin it down.Maybe a bit tart.

Jul 30, 2008 Bottle. Spicy, slightly hot nose, big yeast with a dollop of honey and really thick, rich malt. Hazy dark amber pour with a luscious, lacing creamy head. Taste is (surprisingly, really) extremely dry and actually pretty bitter, honey on the side with rooty spice and some real earthy malt up front. Hint of ginger and orange peel, touch of toffee. Prickling throughout. Smisje house yeast, no sign of candi. Medium body, very dry, herbal aftertaste. A bit hard to finish, but gosh, they can turn out some good ones if you keep them away from the mustard seeds. Probably won’t have again, though.

Jul 28, 2008 An amber/red colored beer, with a medium beige head. It disappears quickly. The aroma is a little sour, with brown sugar, caramel and honey. The taste is a little sweet of brown sugar, a little sour, dry and a bit of alcohol. For a beer of 9% it hasn’t a full taste. Aftertaste is dry.
