3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark amber with a frothy white head. Nose is caramel, milk chocolates, ripe cherries and oranges. Taste is a good balance of bittersweet. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean, flavor lingers for a long time. All in all, a solid dubbel.

Has to warm up before it opens up. Good , somewhat creamy and a nice lingering spiciness. But a metallic undertone and somewhat muted overall. Slight alcohol burn.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Creamy ruby-brown color with fair collar. Pilsener smell (malt) with little sweetness. Typical abbey taste, little strong, but not to much. Nice balanced bitterness. Also some flavours of caramel / licorice.

Medium bodied. Smooth, slightly tangy finish. Taste: Sweet. Notable taste of alcohol. Fairly complex. Niiiice beer.

Really like this. Caramel up front with some red grape in there as well. Buttery in the finish. Medium carbonation with a full creamy mouthfeel. Great stuff!

Smooth, yet watery. Barely any aromas, decent bitter hoppy flavour. Alright.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, 330ml. Pours a beautiful mahogany with a respectable beige head that quickly diminishes into a thin cap. Good lacing. Beautiful color to this beer! Aroma of caramel malt, some floral hops, minor alcoholic notes, butterscotch/taffy. flavour is sweet, with caramel malt some bread/coriander along with some subdued hop flavour. Medium bodied, oily texture with light smooth, but plentiful, carbonation. Overall a pretty good beer. Comparable to Chimay Red with more pronounced flavour but not as well balanced. Also it’s much dryer than Chimay red...
