21 Mar 2011
really dark ruby, clear, thin, rocky tan head.
soft nose. yeasty bananas.
med/thin body and very fizzy. almost explodes in your mouth.
this is almost a "technically" perfect beer w/ no personality.
yeast isn’t robust, malt isn’t big. there is some coffee bitterness but otherwise, just fizzy bland dubbel.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark, coffee colour with excellent head retention and lace. The nose is slightly elusive, but banana comes through with a little bit of apple/pear in the background. Nice lemon yoghurt, spice and yeast finish. Big structure, creamy/zingy texture and a refreshing finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
bottle@home: dominant sweet malt with some caramel, raw, brown sugar, hint of herbs, touch of hops, medium body, slightly creamy, nice dubbel, tap@café/restaurant across the monetary/brewery: similar to the bottle version but more balanced & bit richer & creamier (rated for tap version which is preferable)
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark brown with a large head. Aroma is raisin malt, some yeast present as well. Rasin malt finish. Fruity malt on the aftertaste. Lots of carbonation.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a cloudy brown with a hint of orange when held up to a light. The thin tan head gently laces the glass. A high level of carbonation results in a constant stream of bubbles. Pleasant malt, spicy fruit, and prune aromas. Full bodied with a rich creamy mouthfeel.The spicy Belgian yeast character burst on the tongue accompanied by sweet malt, prune, and raisin notes.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Excellent dubbel, I’m always pleased to find it sold at a pub where there’s nothing I haven’t tried.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle sample purchased at Zyn Calgary. Pours a dark brown with a slight ruby hue. Nice fizzy white head, and leaves decent cascading lace. The aroma is not super strong but it is nice, and of dark fruits and a little spice. The taste is just amazing, caramel, fruit, spice, maybe a little vanilla. Just a wonderful brew.
