Malty nose with dried fruit, raisins, prunes, dark bread and brown sugar. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, dark rye bread, raisins and a fairly dry, grainy finish. Not very bitter. Nice and well balanced dubbel. frankhedman (2), , Sweden does not count | 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 2, 2008 A typical Belgian beer, good taste and aroma, but nothing special that makes you remember it. timsilvia32 (446), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Dark brown pour, large fluff of a white head. Some malt and sweet aromas, brown sugar. Taste doesn’t waver too far from the aromas. Sweet malt, brown sugar, raisin. A similar spiciness with a pumpkin ale. A little sticky and clean finishing. Not a fan of Abbey ales at all, but this one I don’t mind. Is not overloaded with fruit and carbonation. lithy (1650), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 30, 2008 Dark dark brown almost black and a thin fervent tan head disappears instantly. Yeasty spicy aromas. Lots of visible carbonation. Taste is very light bodied despite the color and not as good as I remember, fails to open up as it warms.

Blends to a surprisingly pleasant combination. Underwhelming fining however. FatPhil (3466), Espoo, Finland

Dark brown, viscous. Sweet plummy aroma. Very soft palate. Rich malt base, gentle hops. Good, but lacking the special something that the other Corsendonks have had. Sweet spicy finish. mirjukka (702), LOHJA, Finland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 19, 2008 750ml bottle. Dissipating cola appearance, without much of a head on our bottle (nothing like that picture, for instance!). Slightly metallic but lucious and fruity aroma. slightly less carbonation than i would have expected. deep if not very complex mouthfeel with a quick, dry finish. sweet and mildly sticky, doesn’t rate to the Nostradamus.
