750 ml. bottle..Pours a rich creamy head, good duration, pleasant copper color....nose of sweet malts, some minor fruit overtones....initial taste rather bland, then malts, with minor spices, finishes rather lighter than expected. Mouth feel slightly watery.

A Mes rate: bottle from Bierfest in Barca.
Rather pale coloured for a dubbel with a thin off white head. Creamy Belgian malt aroma that is almost worth a seven. Good fruit and spice in the flavour that is supported well by the good malt. Lovely hint of liquorice in the finish. Decent stuff.

750ml bottle, Pours mahogany color, lightly hazy and with a creamy beige head that lingers and leaves some lacing. Aroma is molasses, spice and slightly tart fruit. Flavor is sweet and fruity, peach, raisins, yeast, spice and a lingering bitter aftertaste. Medium body and gentle carbonation. Nice beer.

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Mahogany coloured with a thick, tight off-white head. Aroma of caramel and red fruit. Flavour was very sweet, to the point of being cloying, with a touch of spice, raisins and a short dry finish. A syrupy residue was left in the glass. Not for me.

I personally was unimpressed with this beer. One could tell that it’s a high quality product, yet it is dull and boring. Doesn’t compare to Affligem Triple. Will pass on next time.

Dark ambar body, tan head. Porto and wine with fruity aroma. Sweet malt taste and good flavor. A little alcoholic.

Fruity aroma with a hint of wine. The taste is rich and sweet - a real monestary double. Not to be drunk in large doses, but still not as heavy as the most complex in the genre.
