Style: Abbey Dubbel

Serve in Trappist glass

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2010 Aroma of spices, loads of caramel, fruits and faint liquorice. Flavour is light bitter at first with fruit and some spices, then some caramel liquorice sweetness. Nice beer, but missing the wow.

Bottle from bevmo. Dark brown and reddish in color with a rather large fluffy light brown head. Somewhat sweet and malty with notes of caramel, dark fruits, yeasts and syrup. Pretty well balanced but also too mild and uninteresting.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2011 Orangey amber body with a huge white head. 2 to 3 finger of head. Aroma is malty and yeasty with caramel tones. Taste is very malty and nice belgian yeast taste. Caramel malts are very smooth and make this beer very drinkable. Fruity flavours are not as complex as most dubbels. Smooth and medium bodied. Very good dubbel.

Orange amber...huge head on a slow pour, much yeast floating although I left a bit in the 25.4 oz bottle...easy to drink not as complez as some other Dubbels...

Wife picked me up a bottle while at whole foods. Pours reddish amber with huge frothy head which settles to thin layer. Smells fruity but I have horrible cold so not much else. Spicy, caramely, and malty flavor and good carbonation I really enjoyed.

Hazy amber coloured. Impressive beige foam. Aroma is caramel. Flavour is coffee and caramel and mildly spices. There is a light alcohol burn in the flavour as well. Not as complex as other belgian ales, but still a very drinkable beer.

(Bottle 0,33l) Strong fruit aroma, light spicy and sweet. Hazy red-pink color. Huge light brown head. Spicy taste. Medium sweet, light bitter. Sticky texture. Soft medium-full body. Light bitter-sweet astringent finish. Light alcohol aftertaste.

bottle dated 8-211-01, reddish orange pour with thick cream off white foam, aromas of belgian sugar and dates, flavors of brown sugar, leathery, malty, watery finish
