| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2008 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. jmm635 (254), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 21, 2008 Updated: Feb 13, 2009Bottled. 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.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 14, 2008 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. mybestfriend (262), Gothenburg, Sweden
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2008 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...

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Nov 5, 2009Poured 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.
