A reddish brown ale with a thin receding moka head. A sweet candy sugar aroma with light plums, molasse. In mouth, a sweet malt with nutty notes, molasses, peaty, dubbel-like, not bad. Bottle at Mondial 2011, June 11 2011.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
An alright abbey dubbel. Nothing too outspoken, perhaps it has potential to appeal to a wide range of people.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle from Sliterij Van Bergen, Eindhoven, NL!
The beer in glass is almost black with good red cast and huge cream head. The smell is sweet malty, with hints of liquorice, overall very neutral. Starts roasted malty, fairly sweet, hints of liquorice. The further course is a little berry-sourish!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Reddish brown, dense off white head. Aroma has caramel, candy, sweetish. Taste is a bit bitter, smooth, a bit sweet, fizzling in mouth, reasonable finish. After a few sips, it appears to be less sweet than at the beginning.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Special beer for me because it’s the first my girlfriend, who knows nothing about beer, bought me. It’s a decent double. Slightly sour fruit and nice alcoholic finish
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Achelse Kluis. Different label, ABV is 7.1%. Dark reddish brown with a huge tan head. Fruity and yeasty nose, slight hints of sour berries, but also chocolate. Good dry chocolate flavours, balanced by berries. Good carbonation. I think this is a very good dubbel.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Very dark brown-orange. Big head. Aroma’s of dark fruit (cherish, strawberry), very sweet, raisins, chocolate. Sweet red-fruit taste, brown sugar, honey. A bit to watery. A bit to simple to talk of a good beer, but for sure, it’s not bad.
