4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/200.75l bottle. Served in a trappist glass. Cork was very hard to get out. Appearance: Opaque black, lots of visible carbonation, sparse beige head. Aroma: GRAPES, wow. Other notes of cotton candy, caramel, grass. Palate: Thick bodied, but not like a stout. Very fizzy. Not much of a finish. Taste: Slightly sweet. Not as grape-y as the aroma suggests. No bitterness here at all. Fairly good be. Super easy to drink for this style.

What a beauty! Doesn’t look too extraordinary with those large bubbles, but it tastes like heaven. Aroma of sweet dates, very very sweet, plums and chocolate. Tastes the same, bit with more fruits, some of that cellar ageing for the fruits, sourness and little hoppiness noticeable. Medium bodied, it is perfectly crafted to hide the alcohol content. I had it a bit too warm, but it was fabulous.

Bottle. Dark brown, sediment. Wonderful dark malty, with belgian candi, dark marzipan, dark toffee on nose. Sweet dark malty. Body is medium full, dark malty, tasty. Nose was excellent, but body could be softer, fuller. But an excellent beer, good drinkability.

Sweet for an abbey dubbel but still great.Raisins is the foremost taste and aroma that comes to mind, hints of molasses, brown sugar, prunes. Pours reddish brown with oil slick head. Mouthfeel is also slick and finish is mildly dry. Truly enjoyable.

September 2010. From bottle. Poured dark brown with a tan head. Dark fruit aromas blended with spices. Good balance.

Corsendonk Pater Dubbel has a medium, cream colored head and a dark brown (ruby under light) appearance, with some light lacing left behind. The aroma is of spicy, sweet, bread, and the flavor is of peppery, spicy, sweet bread, coriander, a hint of banana, raisin, dark fruit, a touch of chocolate, and a mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy, and Corsendonk finishes semi-dry, sweet, and carbonated. Overall, this is another great Belgian ale, and I score it most excellent. RJT

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Great appearance, deep brown colour, Off-white and tiny head which quickly disappears. Spicy and caramel aromas, with nuances to some nuts. Yeasty flavour, well balanced though a little bit confuse. Watery texture, well carbonated, medium bodied. Strange overall, because of a metallic and soapy aftertaste that made me think that the beer was spoiled. Need to have again.

Frothing head, gotta love those. Not sure if I’ve had one from North America yet, for some reason. I can’t believe this wasn’t slightly aged in wine barrels, the nose is really something else, must just be the specific combination of hops, but it’s just beautiful, very floral, red wine, a whole lot of raisin. Taste is more raisin and dark malt... usually when I say dark fruit I’m alluding to fig and dates but here it’s all about the raisin, more than any other beer I’ve had. Lots of esters. Finish is nice and long. This is a great f’ing beer, best dubbel I’ve had yet.
