Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000โ€“2018)

330 ml bottle from gift pack (from LCBO). Pours a dark reddish brown with good-sized tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, dark fruit and yeast. Flavour is date/prune, brown sugar with a little sourness. Body is on the thin side. Ok.
Had at the Trollekelder in Gent but it was on tap as the Trollenbier bruin. Not super but still a very nice dubbel. A hint of sour in the sweetness. Serving: Tap
Bottle pours a deep red/brown with a thick foamy tan head. Scent is sweet fruits and malts. Taste is sweet and fruity with a dry finish.
