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.

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...
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This beer pours a mahogany color with a perfect beige head that lightly retains and has a bit of lacing. The aroma is different from other dubbels I’ve had, sour cherry, sweet malt, caramel, and a very fruity/berry note to finish it off. Taste is phenomenal, starts with the sour/acidic note turning to sweet candy sugar, then berries, and finishing turning into a bit of maltiness similar to bread. This is a fantastic beer, very different from others in the style, but in a great way. Love it
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
clear amber brown ruby color with a big white head and some small floaties in suspension... nice retention and lacing... very malty aroma, dark fruits in a light way, not a great deal of complexity to the aroma, quite sweet molassasy... lively initially followed by a wateriness, dark fruits and sweetness brown sugar dominate the flavor... average for a double, way too sweet and malty with just a touch of hops... not much of the belgian candi sugar or yeast flavor...
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. Dark reddish/brown appearance. Head disappears rather quickly. Aroma is berries, fruit, black licorice. Taste is mostly sweet fruity malts, a little thin. Pretty good.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is a good example of the style. As others have said, it is quite complex, with spice and yeast notes. It is reasonably bitter compared to other belgian dubbels.
