Very Quick: (Might have been an older bottle) Poured a remarkably golden red in color, which seems odd for a dubbel. An enormous head that never broke the entire time I was drinking made for a distraction rather than a positive. The smell was slightly metallic, bready malts and some fruitiness. The taste was much like the nose. It was a bit of a sweet mess. Feel was marked by an aggressive carbonation. It really distracted from any other aspect.
Not a great example of the style, nor really enjoyable to be honest. These things happen, not every one is a winner.

650ml bottle - a Belgian dubbel by way of the southern Asian continent, it would appear. And once again, I fucking hate coming across an offering from another jurisdiction that has only ratings, as opposed to brain-using reviews that could be y'know, useful for comparison here.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with two skinny-ass fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mostly creamy ecru head, which leaves a bit of yawning cave mouth lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a certain acerbic yeastiness, muddled brown sugar, a weird locker room floor unpleasantness, earthy and leafy noble hops, and a sense of hovering booziness. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a muddled dark orchard fruitiness, some strange brown sugar adjacent sweetness, hovering yeasty astringencies, unheralded foreign spice, and a sense of hops that really don't know which way is up.
The carbonation is fairly involved in its testy fizzy and frothy engagements, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, with a sense of booziness maybe taking a certain inherent tithe away from it all here. It finishes well off-dry, the gritty caramel malt and that unhinged brown sugar thing the apparent order of the day.
Once again, this brewery has gone out on a limb in terms of the assumed style - while not exactly my favourite, the zesty fruitiness, edgy yeastiness, and mildly threatening booziness make me almost reconsider my otherwise wan opinion here. Nah, not really.
