Bottle:
Rather clear red-cola color with a very light cap that does not last long.
Faint nose: wisps of dark candi sugar, caramel malts...very faint.
Flavor profile...seems a tad sweet with the Candi sugar and thin on malts, hops are non existant...the yeast does produce some nutty tastes that offset the smokey molasses but overal this is a kind of thin uneventful dubbel.
Impression: If you were expecting Bernardus Pater you will miss the value of this ale...it is a very approachable dubble for people who are not really used to the Belgians styles ...kind of like Leffe...it serves a purpose as a gateway dubbel but thatÂ’s about all.

Another underpowered brew from Phillips.
Clear mahogany-copper colour with a reasonably tame head. Most dubbel's I've had tend to be a bit cloudier and have an explosive head.
Decent smell. Sweet malts, faint traces of candy sugar. Pleasant on the nose, but there is a faint smokiness in the background that doesn't seem to fit the style.
Malt and sugar candy taste, but rather weak and sort of generic. Sort of like an emulation of a dubbel, a clone of what is seen as the style standard rather than branching out and trying something. I can still detect some smokiness in the background.
Thin, watery feel with a bit too much carbonation. A good effort, and not unpleasant to drink but it needs work. Far from a "Belgian" classic.
