french tickler (520), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Nov 15, 2006 Drank in a trappist glass. Beautifull dark caramel color. Nice smokey head. Aromas of cinnamon, cloves, a hint of apples, pears. Very nice floral aromas (hops). Alot of the aromas you can taste. Add a little caramel, raisins and a creamy overall feel to it. Good bitterness. Very good overall dubbel.
daknole (1131), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from total wine. Brown pour, light tan head. Nice raisin, dates, figs, spice cake and yeast on the nose. Flavor is oh so smooth and nice. Fruity, some yeast, spices and a good mouthfeel. fluffy (78), Florida, USA Nov 28, 2008 pours dark cloudy ruby red with intense smell of yeast. flavor of dark fruit like figs and raisins with bready overtones. mild spicy finish. Hardly any alcohol bite. Very good abbey dubbel, at least on par with Chimay. ansermadide (261), Kyle, Texas, USA Nov 1, 2008 (750ml bottle from Twin Liquors on October 31, 2008) Yep, it’s an abbey. Murky orange/brown body, intensely sweet aroma, and just as sweet on the tongue... fruity, as expected. Nothing unique, but not unpleasant. I have to remind myself, though, to only drink sweeter (Belgian) beers like this when I’m in the mood for a dessert brew. BelgiskOlklub (260), Viby J, Denmark Oct 26, 2008 Bottle, vintage 2003. Small light brown head, brown hazy body. Aroma of nuts and malt, oily texture, sweet. GardenGabe (13), Colorado, USA Oct 22, 2008 Amber clear with a rich creamy head. Slight aroma of oak. Very smooth and drinkable. carmel comes though. A bit too much alcohol. Lasting hops.
