3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
draft @ Little Delirium, Brussels.
Cuivre, mousse beige.
Arôme de fruits noirs, sucre brun, le tout allant vers le cassis et figue.
En bouche, une bonne double avec le profile typique de cette bière. Fruité; figue et prune avec sucre brun, levure et un côté houblonné qui est plus dominant.
Facile à boire, solide dans son concept et fidèle à la tradition.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Saboreada el 2 Mar/11 en una copa Cáliz (Westmalle). Color Siena tostado, cuerpo turbio. Coronada en beige con una espuma tupida, de burbuja pequeña, persistente hasta el final. Amplio encaje. Intensa sensación de aroma malteado, levadura y baja lupulización. Cuerpo medio, carbonatación baja muy bien equilibrada. Un muy suave y seco amargor en boca. Percepción de alto nivel alcoholico bajo la lengua, fresco. Sútil chocolate en el retrogusto. Una cerveza sorprendente aunque no sea mi favorita en su Estilo. Adecuada para un trago largo y pausado.
Enjoyed on 3/2/11 in a Chalice glass. Burnt sienna color, cloudy body. Headed beige close foam, small bubbles, carried on ´til the end. Wide lacing. High sensation of malty aroma, yeast & low hoppiness. Medium body, low carbonation very well balanced. Very soft & dry bitterness in mouth. Perception of high level of alcohol under your tongue, crisp. Subtle chocolate on the aftertaste. Surprising beer even not being my favourite one of the style. Suggested for a long & paused drink.

4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
0.33L bottle in Brussels. Pours a very nice nut brown amber. Smells of dark fruit - cherry, fig, grape/prune - caramel malt, and very light banana. Mouthfeel is very smooth - initially finely carbonated and later feeling thick and velvety. Flavor alternates between a slight hop bittersweet tart and deep fruit, caramel, and brown sugar. Very finely balanced in every discernible respect. Finish is exceptionally smooth. Quite clearly an exceptional brew.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours deep amber brown with tan head. Malt yeast aroma, malt yeast taste, a very very fine dubbel.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Big deep dark amber pour, not much on top, head was prettty thin, but still appealing. Smell was a massive caramel, malty sweetness. On to the taste, and well, very malty sweetness as the nose, but a nice dry fizziness to finish it off. At first I was not that impressed, but that was based on the hype, but as I drank a few more sips, it warms up to you and the fizziness on the end cleans the pallate and your ready for more. A true classic.
