(Bottled) Clear, dark cola color with a medium, bubbly head. Aroma of syrupy malt with some roastiness. Flavor is medicinal-herby, licoricey-malty, lightly roasty and syrupy. Almost medium body, foamy CO2. Something between a Dubbel and Oud Bruin, but without the tartness. 5234

Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel, dried fruit, butterscotch, light alcohol and fruit. Flavour is roasted caramel, alcohol, butterscotch, dried dark fruit, raisin and plum.

Pours an unclear and dark reddish brown beer with a weak white head. The aroma is malt, caramel and berries. The flavor follows the nose with additional sweetness. The palate is sweetness. Overall a beer below average.

Pours a hazy medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, alcoholic, roasty dark. Not nearly as good as some of the other Abbey Dubbels I’ve had recently.

bouteille 33cl. bb 12-2011. brune foncée, col café au lait/ocre. Arôme de malt caramel avec pas mal de fruits noirs, levure terreuse et épices, le tout avec un soupçon de poudre de chocolat. En bouche, bière légère par ses 6% mais plein de saveurs. Une belle levure de double d’abbaye dans le style belge avec un palais fruité noirs mélangeant prunes, figues. Malt grillé et chocolaté avec des notes de toffee et une pointe liquoreuse. Sur la fin une fine amertume se fait présente. Belle bière qui par moment peu paraitre trop légère mais reste pleine de surprises.
