Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk. Pours a deep mahogany ruby-red with a small, rather fizzy off white head. Wonderful aroma, yeast, chocolate, plums, raisins, spices (coriander). Mouthfeel is just as lively as i should be. Flavour is extremely well-rounded. Vinious yes, but never more than warming. There is a clear presence of Belgian sugar and dried fruits at the centre. The chocolate crops up again with a relatively nice flowery bitterness thrown in for good measure. This is surely a great Dubbel!

Dec 22, 2008 Pours a dark brown, well carbonated beige head. Nose is a bit sweet, but certainly spiced- anise. Flavor is extremely smooth- sweet malts and well carbonated (not overly so like the blond). Also smooth finish- moderate bitterness, but more immediate sweetness. Enjoyable.

Dec 14, 2008 Deep brown pour that is slightly hazy. Sweet aroma of prunes and quince. Stewed fruits dominate the palate as well. Some light spice and wood. Rather thin mouthfeel to me.

Dec 3, 2008 Dark amber color with a big tan head. Aroma of sour dark fruits and some spice. Flavor of dark fruits, some sourness, and a little chocolate.

Oct 31, 2008 Smell is grapes, alcohol, apple, fruits, very fruity. The look is clear red to amber in color. Sweetness and again lots of fruit in the taste. Tastes decent. Also some caramel.
