Gmoney (250), ManchVegas, New Hampshire, USA May 24, 2007 bottle.. dark brown pour, good head excellent lace. aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. sweet caramel and dark fruits flavors upfront moves to a lingering malty sweetness. light bodied and finishes dry good stuff vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA May 13, 2007 Pours crimson / mahogany with a dense tan head with amazing retention. The aroma has rich caramel, Belgium earthiness, brown sugar and cream - rich and wonderful. Medium / thick body with fairly sharp carbonation, but unobtrusive. The flavor starts with caramel, dark fruits, spicy traits, creamy Belgium earthiness, figs, dates and raisins. the finish has more spice and a sharpness. A fine example of a Dubbel. glkaiser (1150), Seattle, Washington, USA May 11, 2007 On tap at Stumbling Monk. Dark brown w/ good head. Very easy drinking. Low alcohol w/ a dry finish. Mild dark fruit with very little sweetness. Refreshing; well done. cyanescens (156), Seattle, Washington, USA May 11, 2007 Roasty, fruity sweetness. Mild chocolate taste. Very thick in body and rich. A good beer. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA May 10, 2007 Roasted malts, hints of chocolate and coffee. Pours dark brown. Dry, sugar and caramel, vanilla, with notes of chocolate and coffee. Very crisp upfront with a smooth finish. Easy to drink. SJP (483), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 9, 2007 A beautiful cloudy amber brown pour with a nice tan head. Scents of licorice and vanilla blend with notes of yeast and sugar. Tastes mildly sweet, with caramel and spice the most prevalent flavors. Feels nice and crisp in the mouth, with a nice lingering sweetness. bradmccarroll (57), San Antonio, Texas, USA May 5, 2007 Poured from a 750 ml bottle a opaque dark amber color. Smells of roasted malt and chocolate. Tastes a bit sweet at first, with the roasted malt really coming into the picture towards the end, leaving a lingering malty taste. This was surprisingly light on the palate.
Overall I’d say it was pretty good for what it is, although the dubbel is not my prefered style. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA May 4, 2007 Updated: Jul 16, 2007Sweet aroma with faint hints of citrus. Malty caramel taste with some slight citrus and spice notes and a sweet, slightly alcoholic semi-dry finish.
