3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
75 cl bottle @ O’Hara’s Freehouse. Rated on 18.02.2011
Aroma is sweetish with caramel, chocolate and brown sugar. Flavour has some dark fruits, caramel, toffee and some brown sugar. Too sweet and not good.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Originally reviewed: 1/18/10. Poured into a tulip glass. Pours a cloudy dark amber/orange with a big rocky off-white head on top. Great retention; left little lace. Scents of apples, yeast, and light alcohol.
Full body on this and carries a high amount of carbonation on the tongue as most Belgian styles do. Flavors of roasted apples, other dark fruits, and rounded out with a slight yeasty twang on the finish. This was a pretty good Dubbel. Not my favorite style, but this was a treat.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The pour is amber in color with a huge off-white head. The aroma is overwhelmingly heavy on the grape. Very vinous and fruit with some sweet toffee and bready malt. The flavor is perhaps even moreso than the aroma. This also has a touch of lactic tartness (which I think is probably unintentional). Not really all that dubbel-like.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy amber with a white head - malts in the aroma along with some fruits - malt taste with some caramle in it - ok

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Courtesy of Joe I take it. It pours amber with tan head. The big aroma offers up some roasted malts mixed with oak notes, red wine and a light lemon like acidity. The taste has tartness right off the start that leans quickly toward red wine. By midway I get a bit of roasted malts and spicy yeastiness coming to the surface. It seems to add a touch of vanilla sweetness into the finish.

on tap at the Dutch into a chalice. amber hue short off white head with average retention, light lacing cap. scent is clean if not boring. taste is slight clove, dark fruits, hint of booze. medium bodied and warming. not a bad dubbel, would not consider this a benchmark by any means.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml bottle @ RBNAG-11. Hazy orange body with a big tan head. Aroma is fruity, spicy and mild malty. Flavor is really fruity, a bit like peaches, spicy, yeast, light caramel and some mild acidity. Medium body. Feels to light and quaffable for a Belgium dubbel, but decent and nice anyway.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled @ Beer Temple (from notes): Red color, muddy. Off white head. Aroma’s: red fruit, malty sweet, caramel. Flavor is medium sweet and medium sour. Finishes lightly bitter. Not sure if the sourness was intentional, but it doesn’t fit the beer.
