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.

11/13/06: Bottle.
Rich brown body accompanied by a rocky tan head. Lace clings to glass. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The 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.
