| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2006 Bought @ Steilacoom Wine and Brew. On tap, this beer pours more like a micro beer than a Belgian ale, with not much head that dissipates quickly. The aromas fall away with the head and I am left with a little maltiness, and maybe some licorice. On the tongue this beer shines, smooth, malty with just the right amount of carbonation... and somewhere in the background this beer has a little sour that hints, but never takes over the flavor. All in all a drinkable, but not outstanding brown with nice yeasty overtones but lacking in body and umph. tomthompson89 (1473), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 7, 2006 Absolutely amazing Belgian brew! On tap from the Green Leafe in Williamsburg, VA. Poured with near black color with slight red hue... thick off-white head that lingers throughout the trappist. Great fruit notes of plum and perhaps cherry that tingles the whole palate. Very smooth finish. Superb Belgian! zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2006 On tap. Dark brown, off white head. Aroma is molasses, malt, and musty. Flavor is malt, molasses, caramel, and well balance, but not as complex as I expected. Still good. kramer (2448), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 6, 2006 25 oz bottle, Stateline Liquors. Pours a clear medium brown colored body under a thinnish large bubbled foamy light brown head. Some nice lacing remained. Aroma is quite malty with a hefty dose of belgian yeast. Lots of dark fruits with some toffee and nuttiness. Flavor is very fruity but not especially sweet, more of a nutty malt aspect. The yeast along with some alcohol rounds out the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate fizzy level of carbonation. Texture is slightly syrupy but gets creamier on the finish. Overall, a real nice Dubbel, but it needed a little more malt and more complexity in the flavor. Cletus (5051), Connecticut, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 2, 2006 Pours reddish with a tan head. Smells perfumy with a nice wild floral tinge. Tastes of mild sugar, some tangy hops and cherries as well as a slight peppery finish. thebeertourist (2777), Oslo, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 30, 2006 Bottle. Bronze-coloured, rich offwhite lacing head. Yeasty and fruity aromas. Sweet, fruity and spicy flavours, good yeastiness midway, but rather short finish. Good carbonation. Quite complex fruitiness, a little on the sweet and spicy side.
