Amber with creamy brown head. Nutty/caramel & light yeast aroma - very nice. Medium mouthfeel - dark fruits & light sweet malts. Very pleasant. Little thin palate & brown sugar notes.

Clear, dark garnet-accented brown. Demerara, old rum (sans booze), plums, apples in the nose. Sweet, soft body with mellow sugars, dates and a hint of vanilla. More rounded and complex than any other filtered dubbel I’ve had.

(Bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a medium-sized beige head. Aroma of toasted malt, marshmellow, and dark fruits. Flavor of malt, brown sugar, and dark fruits.

330ml bottle from Franglais, Calais. Ruby colour with bubbly red/ivory head. Cereal, toffee and boiled cabbage/broccoli aroma. Bit thin on flavour in mouth. Pasteurised, some boiled sweet. Some dryness on end. Some more toffee. Not much of interest unless you like boiled broccoli.

Bottled [BB 06/2006]. Dark ruby brown, medium-sized tan head. Sour milk, malty nose (bottle is too old propably). Fruity, typical low quality bruin with raisins, nuts ... and cardboard. Very metallic flavor. Don’t be fooled with Alken-Maes who calls this "Cuvëe".

(draft) Clear ruby-dark brown, with big tan head that lingers. Aroma is sweet, dark fruit (plum), rich. Tastewise, sweetness starts up top and while it diminishes, it never goes away. Light raisin flavor is insufficient for this reasonably big beer.

Bottled. Clear, reddish brown with a small beige head. Mild aroma with dried fruits and caramel. Sweet flavor with caramel, fruityness and raisins. Medium body. A bit too sweet I think, but a decent beer. Too commercial as well. (060908)

Botella. Thanks for sharing Pinball. Sweet dark malty aroma. Deep dark brown colour. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with dark malts, dark fruits and a bitter sweet finish.

Bottle @ ChristianScheffel tasting. [thank you, BeerBiker]
Pours a nice deep brown with a rather small off white head. Aroma is great, toffee and caramel based with some Belgian sugar as well. Nice creamy palate. Flavour is sweet, but maintains a slight roasted/chocolate background as well as a tiny dash of hops. Well-balanced - and generally a good Dubbel.

bottle. clear brown/amber, small thick white head. aroma of cardboard, faint dark fruits. flavor is caramel, faint dark fruts. quite sweet.
