Commercial Description:
Has a very distinctive bouquet: yeasty, fruity and slightly smoky. In palate, it has notes of port, raisins and black chocolate. Editor's note: Apparently production has moved from Van Steenberge to du Bocq as of Sept 2007.

Pours a nice amber/brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweetish with predominant yeast. Flavors are a bit fruity, but not as sweet as expected. Weakest point of this beer is that it is a bit thin, and somewhat overcarbonated. Good beer.

Bottled. Pours very dark brown, almost black, with a very large foamy head. Aroma is full of yeast and slightly malty. Taste is malty and slightly sweet, like black cherries. I was expecting much more sweetness. The bottle recommends serving at 45-55 F but I didn’t like the palate. A little too much bite. I enjoyed it much more as the beer warmed.

Bottle from monopoly outlet, CC Vest. pours Dark brown with nice offwhite head. Fantastic fruity aroma of canned pears and some yeast spicyness. Well balanced fruity taste with semi dry finish with some rhubarb. Fantastic

Tastes of sweet, dry malt and a touch of sourness as others have pointed out. Good beer, very drinkable, but there’s nothing remarkable about it; a typical dubble.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown colour with an off-white head. The aroma is malty with some notes of berries. The flavour is also malty with some malty notes and has a tartness to it. Thought that I would be more impressed by this beer...

Poured a completely full glass of brown foam, which slowly condenses into a syrupy brown color. Aroma of light yeastiness and some sour wood notes, but hard to coax out. Flavor is slightly sour brown malts with hints of oak. Uncomplex and lacks the depth one would desire of a Belgian brew. Lackluster for a dubbel. Rerated 11/5/09: Wood-aged sour-tinged malitness seems better developed than I recall. Intriguing melanoiding and dusty malt complexity with deep, haunting, dark fruit notes.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, big head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, some dark fruits, roasted malts. Flavours are the same, very soft and subtle, well balanced. Good dubbel.
