Dark ruby pour, large head of off-white foam that persisted, medium and dark malt with cellar fragrances, faint sweet and caramel in the background, there is a aroma of smokiness and/or roast mixed in, light on the tongue, lots of carbonation, dark malt flavor with some faint coffee, dry on the palate, a hop bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Head was large fizzy and white which mostly lasted. Good lacing in glass. Body was slightly clear and colour was brown. Aroma was yeast, caramel, light rye bread and dark fruit. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and a very light warming alcoholic texture. Flavour was sweet with light notes of bitterness. Ok Dubbel.

330 ml bottle. Pours a nearly clear, deep reddish brown with a massive frothy head. Light but pleasant aroma of malt, brown sugar, and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is mostly malt with some brown sugar sweetness and also some unsweetened iced tea in there as well. The alcohol was fairly well hidden. Very little hops detected, if at all.

Very deep burgundy brown with good head. Aroma is malty and nice. Flavor is smooth, a bit slightly sweet with a dry finish. Pretty decent beer.

very enticing appearance. Deep mahogony with a frothy head. Aroma is very sweet with lingering alcohol notes. Flavor is reflective of such with intensely sweet malt. Smooth palate, nice coating. Finish is hop bitter.

Probably right in the middle of the pack i’ve had so far. Nose is pretty, meh. The tast is there. Real smooth and then you get the flavor right after the swig. After taste is good and very smooth. Could easily drnk a few of these in a row.

Sweet, fruity aroma with lots of dates, some cherry hints and musty hops; voluminous head and abundant carbonation; sourish, burnt caramel, malty flavor; lingering, tart, dusty cobweb and metallic hop finish; tingly, thin palate; sweet, but balanced in the finish. Dubbels have lost the allure they once had for me, but this is quite good.

Bottle. Magogny with khaki head. Sweet, caramel aroma, maybe even a little liquorice. Sweet burnt caramel, some yeasty fruit flavours. Slightly light body for all these flavours. Quite agreeable.
