Pours a hazy dark red with a fine, lasting head. Aroma is sweet with lots of fruits (both fresh and dried), as well as a flowery bitter note. Taste is equally sweet, but has a roasty edge, balancing out the sweetness of dried fruits and spices.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours brown with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is quity malty with caramel, raisins, yeast, fruit and mild spices. Flavor is very balanced with caramel malts, brown sugar, dark fruit, raisins, belgian spices and a touch of toffee.Medium to full bodied and well crafted an excellent abbey dubbel.

Oct 6, 2008 amazing aroma of raisins, plums, figs, and belgian yeast. flavor is just as complex, nice and sweet, loads of raisins, plums, candi sugar. The carbonation is a little high, and there booze comes through in the finish, but overall this is an excellent dubbel.

Sep 28, 2008 750 ml bottle. Brown body with a dense off-white head. Complex aroma of sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar, spices and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, light roasted malt, caramel, dry fruit, some alcohol and a hint of cellar notes. Full bodied and extremely well balanced. Actually the balance is so perfect that it’s difficult to sense the flavors after the first sips. Then just getting better and more flavorful for each sip.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Caramel-brown beer with a big tan head. Caramel, yeasty aroma with fig and raisin. Fig, raisin, date flavor with yeast and rich malt. Medium-plus bodied. Rich yeasty, stone fruit, and malt lingers. Nice complexity - some darker malts present. Very good.

Sep 20, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Notes are getting thin....dark brown with medium head. Lots of dark fruits and caramel mix together to make this quite enjoyable.
