May 9, 2008 Pours a perfectly cloudy dark brown, with a nice light head. A great looking beer. Aroma is mainly of fruit, and typical of the Dubbel style. Taste is similar, but with a bit of yeast to complement the sweet peachy flavor. Palate is a bit fizzy yet slick, especially at warmer temperatures. Overall a VERY good Dubbel.

May 9, 2008 Pours a regal deep amber cloudy color with a thick, creamy head. Very complex and aromatic upon nosing, with sugestions of dark fruit cake, spiced brandy, raisins, molases, vanilla-caverndish tobacco, and rum-soaked cedar wood. Full bodied, almost chewy with an oily mouthfeel. Equally complex taste with hints of candied dark fruits infused in ancient oak-barrel-aged brandy. The taste develops into suggestions of burnt sugar, plumbs, oloroso sherry, and warm cinamon-raisin bread. Long, warming, tappering finish with appetizing hop bitterness, and slightly acidic astringency with notes of tart black cherries, figs, vanilla, and spiced rum. Try with a tradition monastery-prepared dark fruitcake drenched with brandy or cognac. Also try with cherries jubilee or Banana fosters desert with vanilla bean icecream.

May 5, 2008 Cloudy and murky with bits of goodness floating around.thin to no head after initial pour. Fruit taste turns to malt then hops. Raisin or dates. I like all the Chimay offerings.

May 4, 2008 Copper color with a off-white bumpy head. Flavor is sweet fruit and nuts with a touch of hops. A nice smooth, dry and slightly bitter finish, very fine carbonation. Very good dubbel - a fine compliment to the Indian food that I ate with it.
