Had this beer on 8/2/1999. Color is a deep clear golden brown with good carbonation and head . Aroma is a rich malt scent. Taste is rich and malty. It starts with a full medium body that goes down with a rich malt flavor. The finish is a rich malt flavor with a light hop flavor and bitterness.

Very citrus-y flavor, thick, extremely sweet. Great inbetween a few rounds of a heavy beer.

Notes from 1998 after cleaning my basement. Turbid gold, with aroma of hopcit, yeast, candi sugar. Not as full bodied as abbey dubbels, but fairly complex. A good effort. I miss Blue Moon. I only see Pumpkin anymore.

Nice inexpensive dubbel; nothing unappealing about this and good option for low cost dubbel

Ruby pour with a small fleeding tan head, malty sweet taste with an after taste of figs and toffee. I find the body a little light.. 5.6 avb ????
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Found a very old bottle on a shelf in a liquor store in CO. Cooled it and gave it a try. It was for sure old. A lttle sour and cardboardy. Some caramel and earthy flavors too.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Not to happy with this one. The aroma was almost not there and it had a watery amber appearance with a thin cream head. The taste really let me down just not much to report on but again watery. Overall I was disappointed with this one.
