Jan 9, 2005 Bottle, LCBO 2004 Giftpack. Murky brown pour, good sized tan head. Weak aroma - slight cherries and wood notes. Mouthfeel is very very fizzy. Taste is overwhelmed by this over carbonation - it totally hides what flavours might be here, but like a nitro pour at a pub. What is here is a little spicy and finishes with a sharp bitterness, but honestly, this is just way too fizzy to be drinkable and enjoyable. Not hint of that 8% by the way.

Jan 4, 2005 Light reddish brown. Lasting fizzy head. Artificial sweetener and bubblegum aroma. Fizzy mouth feel. Flavour is not memorable. Best description is a Perrier Beer.

Jan 2, 2005 described by the brewery as "just like a porter"....ok.
i poured this double into my chimay glass and was greeted with a mudy brown body and a creamy off white head.i picked up a smell of caramel malts and not much else.the flavor was actually a nice blend of caramel malts and belgian yeast.this is pretty damn good and i persoanlly think its a bit underated.

Dec 18, 2004 Very dark, cloudy brown. Actually, it is the most obscure belgian I’ve ever seen. Dark brown with a very large, medium brown head. Smells extremly odd: heavy malt, stinky cheese and old bay seasoning. Taste is malt, lots or raisins and plums but not too sweet, almost salty in a way. Very weird beer, gets points for originality.

Dec 14, 2004 Hazy chestnut colour, with enormous , bubbly, tan coloured head. Very lively. Aroma is malty, caramel and spices. Taste is similar, with a dark fruity element. Medium mouthfeel, quite highly carbonated but smooth and very drinkable. Alcohol is well hid. Very good.

Dec 13, 2004 Pours a dark red colour with a big frothy head. Sour citrus and light spice aroma. Citrus taste almost like a lemonade but with a malt taste also. Some bitterness. A disappointment

Dec 9, 2004 Nutty aroma, opaque brown body, and a thick fluff of a head that wont go down. My second abbey dubbel and this one taste more better and thats maybe cuz its actually from Belgium and not out of Jersey. Flavor is of nuts:pistachio, cashew and some fruit that taste like cantaloupe and honeydew melon. No way could i fast 40 days off this beer. Now maybe if there was some killer penguin ale or anderson valley IPA i could manage.
