3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber color, with a big creamy beige head that disappears pretty quickly. Sweet malty vineous aroma. Flavor is sweet, malty, fruity-berries, and sour. Finish is sour and tart and a little bitter.

This beer poured a nice reddish amber color and formed an light tan bubbly head that left circular lace as it subsided. A medium amount of carbonation was present. An aroma of malt, caramel and cherries. A flavor of malt, caramel and raisins. A touch of the alcohol was present in the finish. A rather interesting flavor for a dubbel.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2011 Orange-maroon appearance with a yeasty, frothy head. Candy malts dominate the aroma with the strong evidence of marsala as well. The flavor reflected this with a candy and malty presence and desserty marsala tones with the possible impression of caramel. Re-rated 3-19-11: Love the musky yeast overtones. Deep malting, Belgian Special B, and CaraMunich. Well-rounded, flavorful, and altogether titillating.

Ruby coloured. Impressive head, doesn't last long, though. Somewhat yeasty aroma. Somewhat fruity flavour. Alcohol is well hidden. Warming finish. Pretty much a Standard-Belgian-Strong-Ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brilliant fluffy head over a deep dark ruby-brown body. Head retained a layer of foam for an hour of drinking. Aroma is spicy, thoughts of a wit, then the flavor is more well-rounded--cherry struck me first, with some metallic notes, and then more favorable suggestions of raisins, with notable sweetness. Nevertheless, a bit watery and lacking true depth of flavor.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Kind of disappointing. I bought a six beer sampler pak, which also included Piraat, Gulden Draak, and others. So far, only the Gulden Draak has been worthwhile. A couple of off notes, and a distinct lack of complexity.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
dark brown coudy beer. Foam quicky gone. Sweet caramel to both nose and tounge. Not very complex and not the longest after taste.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Brown with small light brown top. . .raisins and light alcohol in the nose. . .sweet malts mix with lots of fruit . . .cherries, more raisins, some pears, maybe an orange lingering around. . .palate is light, with not much lasting flavour. . .well done double.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Superb amber colour with a nice foam. Discreet aroma of caramel. Well-balanced, spicy. The finish is sweet and quite short.
