Aroma is malty with some smoke (as beer warms) and yeast. Flavor is a bit lactic with other evidence of malt, raisin and black cherry. Soft and creamy mouth-feel. Finish also has a slight amount of tin. johno (84), Galveston, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 10, 2006 750mL bottle. Pours light cloudy brown w/ a large, lasting, fluffy brown/white head. Aroma mostly of fruit, predominately apple, with some faint malt notes. Bright & crisp in the mouth, apple-cidery mouthfeel. Very sweet, perhaps slightly too much so. Quick finish. Pleasant but somewhat uncomplex. biznizness (934), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2006 A very delicious beer. Had this at Canal St Pub in Reading. Probably the best dubbel I can think of, though not all that many of them are jumping to mind right now. Grovlam (3809), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Bottle. Brown-amber colour with a fine medium head. Wow what a beer. Aroma is coriander, fruity, yeast and some spicy and caramel notes. Flavour is sweet, but some light bitter notes as well. Very balanced beer that hides the alcohol very well. I found it medium to full bodied with a nice smooth and sweet finish. Very tasty and smooth beer, very impressive. Cliff (361), Avon Lake, Ohio, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 26, 2006 Updated: Oct 29, 2006The Bottle: Call me superficial but a book should have a good cover. Corsendonk, with it’s elegant, attractive bottle does not disappoint.
The Pour: A rosey brown body with a huge achromic head.
The Smell: Strangely muted - on the surface there is a light almondy scent - and perhaps slight fruit notes if you really get a good whiff. But the aroma is pretty weak for a 7.5 beer.
The Taste: 25% Bitter 75% malt. A wonderful concoction that combines a big cherry malt presence with a nutty bitter core. The dry, thick finish reminds me of a good imperial stout. Alcohol is not present.
The Beer: Perhaps I am still under the sway of the bottle, but this is a lordly, ancient styled drink, worthy of a king’s table. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
