Copenhagen 15/4 2022. 33 cl bottle from Beerdealer web-shop. An old fashioned clock tower in a little rhombus on a burgundy background.
Pours slightly unclear maroon with a red hue. Small white head. Settles as thin patch of foam unable of covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with a dark sugary scent. Caramel, toffee. Brown sugar in abundance. Hints of sweet oranges and banana.
Light carbonation Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a rather heavy sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and sugary. Lingers for a while. Finish is sticky caramel.
A very sweet and sugary Dubbel.

Pours a deep dark-brown color with a medium top off white head that dissolves slowly and leaves some sticky lacings in the glass. Aroma is dark malts, dried fruits, bread and caramel. The taste is sweet and malty with notes of dried fruits, roasted malts, caramel and dark bread. The finish is slightly bitter with some herbal hop notes. The aftertaste has a decent lenght. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
A good example of a dubbel.

From belgiuminabox. In Grimbergen glass. Playing Avernum 3. All typical notes of a dubbel perfectly implemented here. A surprise coming from affligem. Why dont they bring it here?

Very dark color. A big head of foam. Carbonation/sparkles present.
Alcohol/phenolic smell. Nice. Reminds of other Belgian beers.
Not a lot of taste at the beginning but the mouthfeel it leaves is very nice, though being bitter.
World trying it since it is very cheap at Colruyt supermarkets.
