Mar 1, 2008 2006. Pours a deep brown with a rich, tan head. The aroma is intensely complex, with notes of chocolate, port, caramel, mint, toffee, plums and dates. The taste is fantastic, with huge dark fruit notes, combined with sweet chocolate and caramel, with a strong, dry, grainy finish. A great, authentic tasting Dubbel that ages like a champ.

Feb 29, 2008 Pours a dark brown with maroon hues, and a light beige head. Smells of some dark fruits, dark syrupy malts, and some caramel as well, although more on the mild side. The favor is more on the lighter side of Belgian dark brews. Some definite dark fruits, but it wasnt on the fruity side, more dark malts and caramel flavors. This is an average dubbel, not their best work but certainly drinkable.

Feb 25, 2008 From a 750 ml C&C Bottle (#66) this poured the color of cranberry juice with a nice cream off-white head and great lacing. Simply beautiful. Nose iof fruit, chocolate, nuts, and caramel malts. Rich and smooth mouthfeel. Robust flavors with a long dry finish. Wonder if aging would have helped this, but this is the only bottle I had.

Feb 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle that doesn’t use the word "reserve," but I think it’s identical. Cloudy dark brown-orange with white head. Looks a bit like a Nitro can head with its small bubbles. Mouthfeel is the same way, with prominent but soft carbonation against a medium body. This is a pretty dry dubbel, some dark fruits, some anise. Yeasty too. Very drinkable, but I like Ommegang’s better.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottle @ Yespr tasting.
[thank you, Storm]
Pours a wonderful, just slightly hazy red mahogany with a small creamy beige head. Super lacing. Aroma is sweet, some dried fruits and light chocolate. Okay creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly roasted, light chocolate. Where is the dried fruits? Where is the yeasty complexity? This is no way a dubbel - drink 3 Westmalle dubbels instead!

Feb 24, 2008 [Courtesy of Storm, session @ yespr] Clear brown with medium off white head. Roasted malt hits the nose with chocolate notes to follow. Flavor is light roasted with sweet and sour notes. Not a good dubbel. But an ok beer.
