Purchased at Brewery Creek Liquor Store in Vancouver while on vacation. 330mL bottle poured hazy dark brown with moderate tan head and some nice lacing on glass. Aromas of caramel and yeast. Taste is lightly sweet up front with some yeast and a moderate hop presence in the finish. Not one of the best Dubbels out there, but still an enjoyable beer experience.

Poured a murky brown color with a dissipating head. Aroma of belgium yeast and raisin. Med sweetness, slight bitter. Also ends on drier side. Med bodied, soft carbonation. I’m trying to figure this one on. Not sure whats going on here. Maybe some caramel and raison flavors. Ends dry. But on sweeter side. Not bad. Alcohol is more hidden.

33cl bottle, as Saint Martin Dark: Pours a slightly cloudy dark copper amber with a stringy-lacing light tan head. Has a sweet toasted caramel toffee nose with a touch of anise. Starts with average fullness and light malty sweetness with some doughy yeasty notes and mild dark fruity complexity before a smooth, semi-sweet finish. True to style and pretty drinkable, but nothing extraordinary.

The beer pours a brown color with a small off-white head, about the color of iced tea. The aroma is candy sugar with a lot of toffee malt and a tad bit of dark fruit. The flavor is similar. I get some sweet candy sugar/brown sugar notes as well as some caramel and toffee. The alcohol is definitely detectable. Thin to medium mouthfeel and high, prickly carbonation. A decent dubbel but not one of the best.

Brown clear appearance with spongy light tan head, fruity coffee aroma, balanced coffee taste, medium carbonation, long finish. An enjoyable experience at Bier Markt, Toronto.

0.33l bottle. Pours a semi-clear rubybrown body with a fingersized light caramelly bubbly head. Aroma is dominated by lots of caramel malts, some dark fruits like figs, dates and some blue plums. Really lively carbonated, oily mouthfeeling and medium-bodied. Lots of roasted caramel flavors, malty with some distinct hazelnuts and a hint of thin licorice- and chocolate-paper. It has a light sour and leafy twist in the ending and a thin hint of yeast and a mildly warming aftertaste. I probably served it to cold (again) cause it got some interesting flavors as it got some temperature.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-orange color with a huge foamy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was ripe cherries, raisins, sugar and Dr Pepper. The flavor was tart cherry pie filling,light molasses and biscuit. The finish was long with bread, fruit, anise and Dr Pepper lingering. Medium body. Solid.

Bottle from Ultime Atome. Nice dark amber with big head. Nose is malts, caramels and some sweet. Taste is also malts and nice fruits and caramel. Some sweet notes. Wheat too. Quite nice, really.

Tallahassee, Fl - Liquor Loft - 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a soft of-white head. Aroma is sweet with some light caramel accents. Flavor is subtly sweet with some dates and raisins, some nuttiness and a bit of cola. Mouthfeel is a bit thinner than expected. Decent, but not overwhelmingly memorable.

bottle from beerplanet.eu clear brown, small light brown head. mild nutty slightly bitter caramelly and malty aroma. flavor is bitter carmel, ripe dark frusts, malts, nuts, cola nuts. palate is watery yet quite carbonated. a little too watery for my taste, and a wak body too. do hide the alc. well, flavor and feel resembles cola too much.
