3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A 2-3 year old bottle:
Full red/brown color but a bit shady. Rich smell of rosted malt, cherry and chocolate. The taste a bit of calvados and cherry. Good and lasting aftertaste. Very good beer.
A fresh one:
Red/brown shady color, a bit lighter than the old one. A nice odeur of orange and chocolate. Tasted spicý and fresh of mildly rosted malt and fruity. Fresh prickly aftertaste. Also a veru good beer.
Conclusion. Very much worth drinking now. Also good for saving ;-)

Pours a hazy medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, alcoholic, roasty dark. Nearly as good as some of the other Abbey Dubbels I’ve had recently.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Malty, hoppy, complex.
Sourness in taste keeps it not too ’vammel’. Not too watery. Nice balance.
Purchased in SuperBrugsen, Halmtorvet.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a darkish brown with smallish tan coloured head. Very subdued aromas. Perhaps a little malt seetness and not much else. Flavours for me were pretty much the same with not much happening. Plenty of sweet malt and a little caramel but not much else. Not bad but not great all the same.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle at home. Red-brown, nice foam, hold for a very nice time and looks a bit creamy. Fruit, bread, lightly sour smell, something less pleasant inside. Red fruit, sweet, cherish taste. Sour aftertaste.Not bad, but not something to get excited...

Long time ago had this one, wrote the following down:
Bottle:
Very full white head, that disappears slowly.
Fresh (fruits), hoppy and stingy (mix of carbonation and spices?) smell.
Light bitter taste with dark sugars and some good spices.
Very smooth and full of barley flavor.
Perfectly balanced and full nice body.
