4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap in Utrecht as De Leckere Dubbel.
Colour of a strong tea, a bit cloudy.
Wine and fruits in aroma.
Very full-bodied, a bit tart, with subtle alcohol and roasty bitterness.
Alll these elements create a perfectly balanced impression.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Don’t understand why this beer has such a low score. I really enjoyed this one. Pours a dark ruby red, brownish beer with a good white head. The aroma had hints of dark fruits, yeast, smoke and wood. Taste is the same with some wood, earth and coffee. Great to taste some coffee in a Abbey Dubbel. De Leckere deserves more credit for this beer!!

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2012 Bottle from Odijk, Holland. Deep brown colour with a white head. Deep fruity aroma with some toffee. Fruity and a mild toffee flavour
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark brown with medium head. Thick syrupy sweetness, some molasses, brown sugar, and a hint of spice. Tried with Paul and Imran at the Arends Nest in Amsterdam.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home. Nice dark brown colored beer. Average smell, nice taste and medium carbo and body. Not a bad Abbey dubbel, but nothing really special as well. Decent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam on 1 April 2011. Very dark brown with a slightly creamy consistency. Some chocolate in the aroma and flavour. A little spicy with touches of raisiny fruit and some herbal bitterness. There’s some deep, fruity malt here but it’s not too sweet or sticky. A very enjoyable and satisfying Abbey Dubbel type beer.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, 6.5%. Farty, oxidized, sherry aroma. Not as bad as it sounds, though. Almost clear brown colour, small white head. Thin mouthfeel. Bready flavour, but well accompanied by some sweetness and a little roastedness. Good grainy breadiness. Creamy aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hand delivered bottle by altonbrownd. Pours a nice deep ruby brown with a steady film of a head. Nose of dark fruit and chocolate. Body is medium minus and overall surprisingly refreshing despite all the busy-ness of this brew. Light caramel and fruit mix with malt and a sherry like contingent that peeks at you from about a corner. The finish just tones slowy away. A relaxing brew after stringing half of the hop yard trellis today. Hooray for Martin!
