Pours brown with a white head. Smells of dark fruit, caramel, tea, light spice. Tastes spicy and fruity with a tarte finish. Some good floral hints emerge as this one warms up. Enjoyable.

Bottle at home ... (rater 101) ... deep burgandy red ... big foam head ... big bready yeasty nose some fruit ... overfizzzy ... loads of dark fruits and bread ... light caramel ... again more breadyness.

33bl bottle. BB Dec 08. Poured very deep amber (almost brown) in color with a large tan head that diminished leaving light lacing on the glass. Aroma of bread and light roasty notes. Tastes of bread toast, sweet caramel malt, dark fruits and finishes a little on the thin side. Ok.

Brown with vanishing head. Roasted, licorice, sweet. Light bodied, drinkable but quite simple and unnoticeable.

Bottle @ Café Gollem. Brown colour, off-white head. Aroma is faint, roasted malts, yeast and dark chocolate. Flavours are the same, bit thin, but very dry, bitter finish. Not nearly as sweet as most dubbels.
