3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A bit weak and tasteless. There are better belgobeer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Not nearly spicy enough for my palate. A double should carry more umph...
Little variation in the taste range for the Van Steenberge line.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Apricots, dates, prunes and nuts(all in that order). You can taste wee bits of the aforementioned flavours on varying sips. Head remains for entire beer. Root beer brown colour. Alcohol content was masked very well. Moderately sweet/rich. Malty, minimal hops. One problem, though. It left a bit of an acidic aftertaste.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This had more roasted malt flavors than any other double I’ve had. It also had sort of a weird dry-hoppines. Sampled on draft in america.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice head, cloudy pale brown colour. The aroma is floral and quite discreet. The taste is rather insipide and flat.

UPDATED: DEC 3, 2003 Very yeasty, not my style of beer. It reminded me of Ciney and Rochefort, but not as good.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Great great great, reminds of Gulden draak, but milder. The honney flavour is very present (great).
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dryish, yeasty. A substandard example, wherein the flavours do not meld well together. Nor is it as stylish as most examples.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2003 Excellent dubbel, well rounded body & balance, dark brown in color with a good lacy tan-ish head, great mouthfeel, very drinkable, a hint of spiciness in the aftertaste
