Really a typical Dubbel, quite average as far as the style goes. Sweet malty aroma and flavor. Hints of yeast and dark fruit. All the flavors of a good Dubbel, just down scaled a little.

Fudge-coloured beer with a tight and longlasting head. The aroma has some distinct, unpleasant aroma, like diesel. The taste is really thin, just hints of taffee and syrup. Apparently this beer has suffered a lot from quality changes.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown, almost black with a nearly non-existent tan head. Smoky, sweet malt aroma matches the flavor. My favorite of the mix pack so far.

11.2oz bottle. Deep brown color, nice foamy head. Rich malty taste, this is a quality Dubbel. No trace of alcohol. Lots of yeasty tastes to complement the Belgian effervescence. Thick and rich, without being too heavy or overbearing. Nice!

Poured into a chalice. Aromas of bananas and coffee. Initial taste of roasted malts and ended with a slight bittersweet taste. A little light palate for my taste. Would prefer a more creamier dubbel.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark cloudy amber with a very large frothy off white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a spicy clove with raisin and brown sugar. Thin mouthfeel watery on the palate with a sweet malt taste with caramel and chocolate in the flavor. Hides the alcohol well making this fairly easy to drink. Prefer this to the tripel, a very good dubbel from Brouwerij.
