Dark brown pour with a huge brownish white head. Malty aroma with some hops in the back ground. Malty flavor which covered the alcohol well. Pretty good. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Apr 11, 2008 thanks to beior foe this. A nice cloudy brown with creaky white head. Sweet caramel male aroma with the usual bock character. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Apr 3, 2008 Smellf pretty nice I suppose. Some chocolaty notes. Flavor is stronger in terms of alcohol than I’d like. Mostly an indistinct beer, nothing amazingly good or bad. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 30, 2008 Bottled.
Deep ruby red. Large off-white head.
Spicy toffee-aroma.
Spicy and yeasty flavour; wormwood.
Dry bitterness. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Mar 29, 2008 Pours a very dark chestnut brown with a dense, thick light tan head. Aroma is slightly herbal, some vague scents of something like anise, toasted malts. Taste has some sweetness and Belgian yeast characters and a slight sourish twang on the finish. Kind of refreshing and an interesting take on the dubbel. hughie (3016), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Mar 26, 2008 Dark brown with an off white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Taste is less sweet with yeast, leather, plum, toasted malt and a little sourness like forest fruits. Bitter finish. Delicious.
