puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA May 28, 2008 Hazy brown beer. Strong and complex taste. Roasted grain. Malty. Dark fruits notes. Quite dry aftertaste with caramel-chocolate sweetness and alcohol. Some parts of taste reminds of porto. Mid-high in carbonatio IlanMan (816), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA May 26, 2008 Pour is dark hazy brown with fluffy white head. Aroma is of fruit, raisins, heavy belgian spice, and is also sweet. Flavor is again sweet and malty finishing with a slight raisin quality. Good and refreshing brew. Doesn’t seem worth the price however. May buy again. FishManLA (284), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA May 26, 2008 Updated: May 27, 2008Pours a brown color with a tan head that fizzes like champagne and dissipates quite quickly. Nose is somewhat like red wine with distinct floral and fruity notes. Taste is fruity, like red grapes and plumbs and tart. Finish is tart and slightly bitter and fairly long lasting. This is probably the best known, but it is definately NOT the best *tasting* Abbey Dubbel. I’ve had several that were much better. amishcaravan (237), Winona, Minnesota, USA May 25, 2008 scent is of belgian yeast and some floral aspects as well. taste is of yeast and citrus. nice medium carbonation makes for a pleasant experience. I would purchase this again. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA May 24, 2008 Updated: Dec 31, 2008750 ml. into a margarita glass for lack of a Trappist glass. Rich honey brown pour with a healthy foamy off-white head that holds and provides nice lacing. Aromas of sweet malt and honey. Flavors include hints of honey, sweet malt, cherries, fruit juice, and more. Soft, smooth, and light on the palate with little carbonation - a bit to watery for my taste, but fits the style and light flavor. Overall: good, worth trying, not worth the price. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA May 22, 2008 Hazy brown pour with a white head and nice lacing on the glass. Pretty weak in terms of aroma. Some grain and yeast with the slightest hint of fruit. Smooth bitter malt flavor with some yeast and alcohol on the finish. Nothing too special. bembelembe (150), Zagreb, Croatia May 20, 2008 Hazy brown beer. Strong and complex taste. Roasted grain. Malty. Dark fruits notes. Quite dry aftertaste with caramel-chocolate sweetness and alcohol. Some parts of taste reminds of porto. Mid-high in carbonation. Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden May 19, 2008 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, roasted grain, gingerbread cake and hints of citrus peel. Malty taste with dark and/or dried fruit, dark cherries, dark rye bread, toffee and a rather spicy finish with sweetish citrussy notes. Balanced sweetness, medium body, very well balanced. Heavy malt character. Nice beer.
