3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Served from a bottle at OTM Tasting Room. The appearance is a bubbling brown with a small head. The flavors are aromas are bready, grainy, touches of chocolate, and nutshell. The carbonation is high, a touch too high for my licking.

not sure if i am only trying the best beers but this is the fifth beer that i tried that is nearly perfect. after opening the bottle you are greeted by a surprisingly complex flavour for a dubbel. second only to rochefort 6. try it. you will like it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from grocery store in Schipol airport. Poured darkish brown with billowy head. Too billowy in my opinion. Ale is heavy, malty, some spiciness. Doughy belgian yeast is clearly evident. I’m not overly fond of dubbles, otherwise I’d probably rate this higher.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from LCBO. Tastes of honey. The color is a darkish brown. There is not really as strong a finish to this beer as I thought there would be, but there doesn’t need to be because this beer is reasonably thick. It is not as thick as I would like it to be, but it does the job. I am not happy about the head. It wasn’t tight and stable. It kept growing on me making it difficult to drink the beer. The aftertaste that I am getting is a sweet flavour.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle poured into an oversized wine glass release some pleasant aromas, mainly raisin. Color is dark brown. As far as taste, the alcohol is not hidden well, though it’s not completely overpowering. There’s a lively fizziness on the tounge.
All in all, I expected more complexity from this beer and am a tad bit disappointed. I ended up pouring a good bit of it out, something I rarely do.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. Looking at the previous ratings, I wonder if I’ve drunk the same beer? Pours like cola, both appearance wise and the effervesence that comes with it. The aroma is negligible, with nothing standing out. Some cherry flavour, with a cough mixture taste in the finish, and a trace of banana which lingers well in the mouth. For 7%, it lacks body and becomes syrupy. It has the alcoholic taste, but not the pleasing, warming sensation I had hoped for, a yeasty aroma develops towards the end. Quite disappointing.
