3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This brown dubbelale has a sweet palate, and strong robust taste.

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this. Absolutely no head or carbonation. Caramel,yeast, sour flavors all going on at the same time. I think I may need to try it again just to get a handle on what was going on.

Incredibly smooth. A little sour. Fruity/ carmel malt. Interesting and enoyable.

Other than Stella, are the Belgians capable of making bad beer??? Another winner - high alcohol, very dark, bore some resemblance to a doppelbock, but spicier. Hints of caramel, heavy malt, but the finish was not as sticky as I expected (a la Het Kappitel).
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A fairly rich, yeasty example. The kind of beer that will have some fairly devoted fans, and others will be ambivalent.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
I really, really, really liked this stuff. It’s much like a dopplebock. Dark, rich, and just oozes dried fruit and caramel in the aroma. A very rich, very strong, very good ale.
