UPDATED: OCT 6, 2021 Tastes a bit neutral and even stale. Lacking any robustness or complexity. Boring and not even that clean 1 year before expiry. Bier konig ams

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2021 Bottle, dark amber/brown colour, notes of candy sugar, caramel, dark malts, tart and sourish notes. Unbalanced, infected.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2021 Old rating from 2017 - 330ml bottle from my trip to Watou. Pours brown with a white head. Aromas & tastes of candy sugar, caramel, nut, syrup & dark malts. Moderate body. Sweet finish

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2020 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe (£2.19): A dark caramel body that's translucent & topped with quite a thick, creamy to golden white colour with excellent retention & lots of lacing on the glass. It's malty on the nose with caramel, faint alcohol & a slightly nutty aroma with a nice underlying sweetness, floral notes & some hop bitterness sneaking in at the end. It's again malty tasting but with more floral touches, apple & a little yeast showing. The beer is balanced & fruity with some nutty flavours, citrus & grapefruit making an appearance too. It's sharp & strongly carbonated with a slightly dry, effervescent finish that's a tiny bit warming too.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2020 Dark brown color with medium tanned head. Aroma has caramel, dark malt, vanilla. Taste is malty sweet with long somewhat bitter and quite dry aftertaste. Flavors of dark malt, herbal notes and plums.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2020 Dark brown color, plenty of foam and a rich flavor of malt, caramel, raisins, forest fruits. Great beer overall.

UPDATED: APR 28, 2020 33 cl bought from supermarket. Pours hazy dark brown color with medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, brown sugar, caramel, light dark fruits, light alcohol. Taste is similar to aroma, roasted malt, caramel, alcohol. Medium body & carbonation, light bitter finish. Overall a decent Belgian beer.

UPDATED: APR 3, 2020 330ml bottle from Carrefour at Baneasa, drunk at home on day 14 of the lockdown. Clear but intense rusty brown, lots of head, lacing and a steady stream of fast-rising carbonation. On the nose, sour fruit, raisin, hints of cherry and honey. In the mouth, creamy for an instant and then the sourness kicks in, flavours of sour fruit, old wine, hints of brown sugar, mild bitterness and a touch of sweetness but both hammered down by tart acidity into a clean finish. It's hard to believe it is intended to be as sour as this, but still clean and refreshing. A Dubbel and a Lambic all in one.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2020 vor einigen Jahren einmal getrunken und jetzt wieder im Glas vor mir. Als Dubbel hätte ich es nicht erkannt.Es hat saure und fruchtige Aromen und weniger Alkohol- und Karamellnoten, die ich mir eher erwaret hätte. Es ist nicht schlecht und erinnert an ein Sour Ale, das wirklich erfrischend ist. Kein klassischer Belgier, aber durchaus nett.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2020 0,33l bottle from biab. Pours hazy dark brown. Some caramel, berries. Quite sweet with a hint of sourness. Medium bodied, carbonation quite low also.
