Wypite dawno temu, ocena przepisana w ramach uzupelnienia profilu na ratebeer. Srednio mi podszedl, byl mocno karmelowy i slodki, zapychal
3cl botlle courtesy of and shared with Kermis.
Thin off white head. Very hazy amber pour. A decent double
Bottle shared. Hazy brown with a cream head. Aroma of massive caramel and toffee, sweet malt, light yeast and overripe dark fruit. Flavour is heavy sweet. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Couleur ambrée très sombre, aucune mousse. Nez sur le caramel cuit, sucré et épices. Gout caramel brun sucré, fruits noirs, bonbon, bien malté avec des notes caramel cuit et épices. Bon corps. Fin sur le caramel cuit et candy.
From Hipercor. In Teku glass. After dinner. Didnt expect much and have been surprised with a tasty dubbel, with a good amount of plum in its profile. 2 months before BB date.

A: Hazy brown / Marron turbio.
T/S: Malt, sweet, yeast, fruity / Malta, dulce, levadura, afrutado.
marrom escura turva, espuma persistente, odor e sabor frutados, maduro, encorpada. Bem no estilo
33cl pour from refrigerated bottle in Kazakhstan. Pours opaque, solidly brown with a light tan soapy head and notable carbonation. Nose is lightly sweet, dark fruit, lots of plum, raisin, apricot, some malty notes. Body is medium, crisp, a little on the watery side. Dry finish. Taste matches the nose with more of the maltiness present. A bitter grainy finish.
Pelo teor alcoólico já se espera uma dubbel mais leve o que de fato é verdade. Mesmo sendo fácil de beber é bem gostosa. Amargor quase inexistente, mas tá ali pra fazer conjunto.

AR: dry yeasty, wee light bread
AP: pale clear golden, wee bubbly head
F: fizzy, dry yeasty, bready
Shared 750 ml corked & caged bottle, as Dominus Double Brune, at local tasting. Dark brown to ruby colour, large off-white head. Strong malty and sugary aroma, notes of brown kandij sugar and caramel, hints of mild spices. Sweet and sugary flavour too, more brown sugar than caramel. Minimal hops. Hints of acetone / glue. Not my favourite double - definitely not trappist quality.
Shared bottle at local nautical tasting. Pours almost clear deep brown with a small creamy head. Strong malty aroma with prunes and raisins, something unpleasant , like rubber glue. Taste is burnt rubber with green apples, long unpleasant finish.
Fra delt flaske på RBHD-treff på Fridtjoffen januar 2016. Klar dyp rubinfarget kropp med lavt lysebrunt tett skum. Kandissukker, viskelær og honning blant duftene. Søt med innslag av smørmalt. Litt varme med hint av aceton. God fylde.
Shared bottle at RB/HD on board Fridtjofen 26.01.16. Muddy nut brown. Even pale brown head. Cloying aroma of sweet dried fruits and vegetables. Taste is more refreshng, with fresh and dried fruits. Green apples in aftertaste is pulling down.
Flaske ombord på Fridtjofen jan16 (rbhd): brunrød rav med fint beige skum. Kandis, tørkede frukter og epler i smak og aroma. Hint av aceton/lappesaker for sykkel?). Mye grønne epler i ettersmaken. Mangler kropp og særpreg.
Descripción del fabricante:
Se trata de un producto de la cervecería belga John Martin Brewery, fundada por el británico que le da nombre a la empresa y que, a principios del siglo XX, cambió su tierra natal por Amberes donde fundó la empresa que sigue llevando su nombre.
Cuenta la tradición belga que, cuando Julio Cesar estaba inmerso en la conquista de la Galia, dijo: "De todos los pueblos de la Galia, los belgas son los más valientes". Buscando el origen de esta valentía, dicen, que descubrió que consumían una bebida de alta fermentación conocida como cerveza de abadía.
César, inmediatamente, ordenó que dicha bebida se debía producir con el fin de dar a sus ejércitos la misma tenacidad y coraje. Para evitar que sus enemigos lo descubriesen, ordenó que ésta, debía ser elaborada en un monasterio desconocido, con el nombre clave de ’Dominus’. Esta cerveza monástica tuvo efectos excepcionales y los ejércitos de César pudieron hacerse con el control de la Galia.
Mucho más tarde, los monjes pertenecientes a la Orden Cisterciense de la Estricta Observancia, aprobaron la receta para su propio uso.
Hoy en día, Dominus, se sigue elaborando respetando la tradición monástica. Esta cerveza de color marrón oscuro tiene un aroma a regaliz, ciruelas, higos y pasas. Agradablemente lupulizada y con toques florales, su sabor es dulce, aunque nada empalagoso. Su final es refrescante y equilibrado. En pocos sorbos un sabor típico teñido del carácter benévolo de las grandes cervezas negras, combinando las notas de café con las de madera para poder apreciar todavía más esta cerveza en su rigor místico.
759 mL bottle. Brown, not much head. But the beer is a couple of years old. Fruit and yeast in the flavour and aroma. Appropriate, but not too interesting in this case. Body is a little thin.
Ambar oscura, marrón. De Espuma ocre jabonosa, que desaparece rápido. Rico y marcado aroma, dulce, acaramelado con alguna nota frutal. En boca es también bastante dulce, muy malteada, caramelo. Cuerpo tirando a escaso, gas notable, y final que evoluciona hacia un amargor de carácter frutal que le da cierta complejidad.
Bottled 330ml. -at Restavracija Eksperiment Ljubljana. Dark brown coloured, small off-white head, caramel and dried fruits in the nose. Almost the same in the taste; dried fruits, caramel, discreet alcohol and notes of spices in rather dry finish.
Clear dark amber color with white head. Bready and yeasty aroma, with malts, sugar, caramel and dark fruits. Taste follows the aroma, with some dark fruity and malty notes, also caramel.
Brown with little head. Nose is fuits hints of banana. Taste melon, spices caramel and yeast. Alcohol in the finish.
A very nice surprise perfect for this time of year.
Bottle. Dark brown to dark chocolate colour with a beige head. The aromas are very intense and nice, malty and fruity. Right away, a fruitiness in the flavours reminiscent of plum, together with a toasted caramel. Finish tends to be long, with the oily texture still going on after a while. Carbonation is rather soft and does not interfere with the flavours. The body is medium (for this style of beer, that is). Fairly drinkable and enjoyable.
33 cl. bottle @ the bungalow in Vencimont, bought @ Delhaize, Beauraing.
Dark brown with a beige head. Malt, caramel and some coffee in the aroma. Sweet taste, low carbonation and a quite thin body. Not that good.
Acobreada,levemente turva e licorosa,espuma bege inicial abundante,cremosa,com média duração;aroma delicioso,aparecendo malte tostado,passas,frutas secas,resina e o tradicional fermento belga;sabor tão bom quanto o aroma,com o tostado e o frutado se destacando,dando um dulçor prazeroso,leve picante é notado ao passar pela garganta,álcool aparece mas em harmonia,corpo médio,final curto e adocicado. Excelente cerveja,desse que é um dos meus estilos favoritos,tão boa quanto a Westmalle.
Pours a ruby brown color, topped with a rather small tan head that quickly disappears. Aroma has some mild dry fruits in there and it’s also quite bready/yeasty - though not too excessively. Taste is sweet, again with yeasty notes. Slight soury feel in the finish. Not a big fan og dubbels, but this one was passable.
An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, metal, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruits, leading to a dry finish.
Foam: pale brown cream.
Colour: hazy red to brown.
Aroma: roasted malt/nutty, prune, with some chocolate notes.
Taste: malty, spicy, herbal, surprisingly tones of port wine, dry prune, dark fruits, candy syrupy, yeast, so quite good for this style, but something is missing….
