Bottle. Amber / brown color with a nice head with good duration. Aroma is fruit and malt. Flavour was slightly sweet, brown sugary and sweet.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma is fruit and malt. Taste is nuts and fruit.

Darker brown with a nice sized tan head. Slight sediment at the bottom of the glass. Aroma was brown bread with spice and caramel tones. Flavour was slightly sweet and brown sugary with undertones of light aciditiy. Medium mouthfeel and slight alcoholic tinge. Kind of plain.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, with sediments floating around. Head is big, fluffy and brownish and leaves lace. Aroma is barnyard and alcohol. Slight hints of malts. Very boring aroma in fact. Flavour is metallic, yeasty and some alcohol. Slight nuttyness also when it gets a bit warmer. Quite barnyardish and earthy in the finish and aftertaste. Surprisingly thin palate. Not too bad, just boring.

Reddish brown with a thick tan head. Malty aroma, some alcohol. The flavour is not as rich as I had expected, however, malty with a slight tart edge, some alcohol some belgian yeast flavours. An average dubbel.

Sampled from 750. amber with a medium off white head. Aroma is tart, lightly sour fruits, malt, brown sugar. Interesting aroma for a dubbel, if it’s intentional. Taste is dark malts, some fruit, some mineral water notes (which I always like) with a light chocolate and dark fruit finish.

Muddy brown large beige head.Brown sugar nose.Sweet rather boring brown sugar taste.
