[1] Review by drewseslu from Saint Louis, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/2/2006 9:48:52 PM)
"Poured a vigorous head with very toffee/caramel aroma with slighly burntish overtones. Good caramelly flavor with hops to barely keep it in check. A sweet but spicy dubbel. I dig this beer. Dark and unapologetic. Nice."

"08.11.05 Undated 750ml bottle, wrestled with the cork for five minutes to remove it. Deep ruby brown with small beige head. First whiff reminds of canned fruit salad, reduced with brown sugar and apples in a seasoned old skillet. Plum pudding. Some sherry and wood qualities come through, and butterscotch hints. Sour fruitiness is also plummy, like an underipe fruit, also reminiscent of the sourness in yogurt. Lingering caramelized fruits, cherry, plum, pear, grape. Acidity breaks up the sweetness and fairly heavy body but gets a bit tiring in its own right. Woody, dry finish. Nice."

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:21:43 AM)
"Duinen solves the problem of green glass by painting opaque white. Dark brown with moderate beige head. Aroma carries sting of alcohol. Good pruney fruitiness. Wood and a surprising (slightly unpleasant) bitterness. Perhaps it's the bitterness, but the flavor is a bit thin. Alcoholic warmth in chest. Extrememely faint Sourness lurks under the bitterness"

[4] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer (1/12/2006 8:16:00 PM)
"Bottled. Reddish brown colour, mediumsized beige head. Dark berries (black currant) and maybe some winegums (?, the non-raters at the table said so...). Also alcohol present, but fits in very well. Sweet aftertaste, and sticky palate. A bit barleywineish hints over it."
