| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 26, 2009 341ml bottle quite fresh. Pours brown with close to no head. Great lacing. Aroma is spicy, dark fruits, some caramel as well. Alcohol is quite present. Strong warming effect even if the beer just got out of the fridge. Taste is dark fruits, spices. Very abt like. You can really taste the alcohol (in a Rochefort 10 kind of way). Taste as some complexity. Some hints of cherries. Very rich, warm and comforting brew. dnstone (171), , New Jersey, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Bottle shared by gregc from BA at Captain Lawrence during the release of the newest vintage of the St. Vincent’s Dubbel. Was looking for this when I was in Montreal at the beginning of April but I was unsuccessful in tracking it down, so I was glad to get to try this. Pours a hazy brown with a thin white head. Pine, plum, candy, and caramel on the nose. Medium bodied, sticky and sweet with a nice caramel flavor coming through. Finishes fruity with some light banana notes.
