To be honest, they advice a 10-12 celsius temperature. Mine was chilled at 7.
330cl bottle. 7% abv.
Opening it, signs of proper carbonation.
Pouring it in a classic belgian bulb. Proper 2 finger head of hazey foam. Irish coffee colour.
Smell, dark chocolate. malt, milk, coffee and caramel.
Taste horrible. Way too sweet. But some interesting coffee-choclate roasted bitterness in the aftertaste.
Brewery claims to have nuts and cedar in the taste and many herbs.
But no, sorry, it is not there. Something too sweet, dark chocolate-like and roasted, ok. If you like it, ok.
Not my fvaourite, but I understand some people will love it.
This is a cooking beer to me. .
You can stew your rabit legs in it.

Thijs is an okay dubbel. Buy it's not very exciting. Look and smell are average taste is a little bit better. Feel is normal but not special. All round it's an okay beer.

Looks like a standard dubbel, dark amber/ruby reddish with a slightly off white head that settles quickly. Some visible carbonation. Half a mark off for being filtered.
Smells of caramel malts, some cherries out of a jar and some general dark fruity notes. Mainly caramel maltiness.
Taste follows the smell really, some bready malts, sweetness and some fruitiness.
Pretty good for a non-craft produced dubbel.
Mouthfeel is medium to full, creamy and the carbonation is pretty low.
Overal a good beer, but not very special.

300 ml bottle, at home, poured into a chalice.
Small off-white head that dissipates quickly on top of a dark brown beer. Head does leave some light lacing as it goes down. Very light activity in the glass.
Dark fruits on the aroma, plums, some caramel.
Taste is a nice bitter one, turns to a bitter-sour aftertaste, with some notes of iron along with fruits.
Medium body and average amount of carbonation. Alcohol not so obviously present, but it does offer some warmth afterwards.
A nice try from Gulpener.

30cl bottle poured into a 'Leffe' stemmed goblet @ home on 30 Dec 2012.
Looks good: reddy brown body that's clear and bright, on top a biege head that started thin but held well and gave some heavy lacing on the goblet
Malty and fruity aroma and taste: starts sweet and ends fairly bitter and dry. A bit thin for a Dubbel body wise but not a bad brew. Hints of yeastiness throughout, but overall lacking enough flavour and 'umph' for the style it is trying to portray.
