3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled 33cl. 6.5 ABV. Hazy brown beer with a huge mountainous light beige head which leaves some lacework. Sweet spicy aroma with caramel, honey, clove, nutmeg, a lot of plum, orange peel, vitamin tablets and a strong yeast character which is reminiscent of Unibroue. Sweet yeasty taste with plum, yeast, clove, nutmeg and orange peel showing up. A tad acidic, citrusy. Lively carbonation. Yeasty finish with lingering hints of marmite, very faint burnt plastic and nutmeg. A very yeasty, spicy brew I didn’t enjoy a lot. Interesting.

Bottle. Nice beer! Brown pour, tan head. Prunes, raisins, yeast, spice aroma. Flavor is full of the prune and raisin flavors with some interesting tartness. I liked it. arrogantb is right, good food beer.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A friend was kind enough to share this with me. It had a cloudy yellow color that looked murky and the head was a white sticky pillow. The smell was musty and earthy to me. The flavors tastes yeasty, Belgian, and not much fruit. For some reason I think this would be perfect with some mussels and pomme frites.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, mostly likely aged for a year or so. Pours a cloudy brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, some light spices (pepper, allspice even) and a touch of roasted malt. Flavor of yeast and sweet fruits initially with some roasted malt and spices in the finish. Pretty decent--I was a little scared of this beer considering that I didn’t know how old it was/how well it held up over time, but it was fine! Not too sweet either, which often plagues some abbey dubbels. Nice beer!
