Smells of dry malt, grassy, some residual sugar. Tastes of spice, caramel, sweet malt, perfumy, some dryness on the finish. JCB (1799), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 19, 2009 750ml from State Line. Pour is fairly lively, as is the case with many BA beers. Soft and somewhat understated nose doesn’t leave much of an impression beyond malts and sweet fruits, kind of a by-the-numbers dubbel aroma. The body is moderate, with prickly carbonation that’s fairly pleasing. Flavors are somewhat more complex, with some nutty flavors blending well with sharp yeast and herbal notes.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 8, 2009 5/27/09 notes: on tap at Brewpub. Aroma has soft dried fruit, toffee sweetness and crème brulee toastiness. Appears orange-brown with a small head. Flavor is softly sweet, of dried red fruit likely strawberry. Pretty simple overall. OK to drink, but I’m not thrilled. keepersj12 (825), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Had this on tap and never would have guessed it was a duppel. Aroma was bread and yeast. I didn’t get any of the spiciness in the aroma or flavor. NomDeBeer (402), Maryland, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 16, 2009 Had this on tap a while back, but it was so cold I couldn’t taste anything. Now that I’ve got a bottle at cellar temperature I can rate it and appreciate it - and I do appreciate it. Perfect pour - hazy medium brown color with a huge billowing head. Nice lacing inside the glass. Aroma of Belgian yeast, bread, and spices. Taste is bread, spice, yeast and sugar. No alcohol in the taste or aroma. Slightly bitter, flavorful finish. This beer is well-balanced and very drinkable. Outstanding. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 12, 2009 Thanks eagle. Poured an orange color with major head like a coke head. Aroma was lots and lots of coriander, plums. Flavor was to much pils malts, and metallicness ewwww. To carbonated and that metallic ruined it for me.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2009 A bit harsh, bitter. Not really a great belgian beer, imo. Just some off flavors, not very clean, did not seem very dubbel-like. Maltajo (109), TARRYTOWN, New York, USA
