Glows red and hazy with pocked yellowish suds. Sniffs of cinnamon and gingery spice, red apple, overripe banana. Fruity, spicy dubbel with a hint of hop bitterness. Possibly chiccory, liquorice, wholemeal bread and yeast. Silky, spicy, solid ale.

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.
