Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Body is dark rubby, thick, opaque, cherry and of the plum, colour of the good quality red wine, carbonation is lively and vivid, there is a sediments from the fruits and yeasts that slowly goes down the bottom of a trapist glass, the bubbles are gliding to the wall of the glass, what creates an interesting impression. Body looks full. Head is medium but decreases not much so is mostly lasting after you pour it into a glass.Colour of the head is cappuccino like and is frothy and regular.Gives very nice, thick lacing.
Aroma: Brown sugar, burned sugar, nuts (wall nuts), roastiness is felt slightly at the background, cream, cherry, plum, cake, yeast, raisin, chockolate, aroma is similar to dunkel bock, but alcohol is very well hidden as for 8% vol. a bit refreshing, but hop content is rather low, grainy, a hint of alcohol is slightly felt at the background, cognac, malty character.
Flavour: Alcohol is mildly warming your palate, coffee - reminding of Irish Coffee, brown sugar, toffee, butterscotch, burned malted barley, earthy hops, cherry, plum, cognac, whiskey, good quality red wine, creamy, reminds me some Baltic Porters, very bitter, really burned, roasty malted with fruits like cherries and plums and alcohol warmth, beer is not hoppy, not strong wheat&yeast content.
Palate: Body is full, texture is creamy, carbonation is lively, accidic, nice roasty bitterness is felt, finish duration is long and some hoppyness is present. Finish is additionally mellow, a bit alcoholic, fruity.

May 20, 2008 Bottle: Dark red/brown color with off white head that retains with nice lacing. Slight coffee/chocolate aroma. This beer is nice, I expected it to be sweeter due to the aroma, but it is well balanced with a slight bitter/coffee flavor. Savory aftertaste. Nice body with a slight alcohol taste. No flavor is is over the top, just quality. I would not get sick of drinking this beer.

Apr 29, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a lasting head and nice lacing. Aroma is slightly sour & funky (rotten fruit) with a hint of black forest cake. Tastes unimpressive at first, plain dubbel malting, but opens up into a wonderful warm fruitcake finish. Chocolate malt, light sourness, alcohol in the finish. Good carbonation and a nice creaminess from the lasting head. A bit watery, but overall very pleasant dubbel.
