caramel herby aroma, cloudy, brown, good head, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, complex flavor with a hint of herbs, not the best belgian dubbel ever, but very good

deep red in color. very light nose.wonderfull sticky bubblegum flavor with ginger aftertaste. very smooth finish! this is a nice beer that i will have again.

750 ml bottle poured a cloudy brown with a small amber head. Aromas of bubblegum, fruitiness and a hint of spices. Palate was light, crisp and smooth. Flavors of fruittiness, spices and a hint of toffee with a dry semi-sweet finish.

Thanks to Hatchy. Pours a ruby red amber with a large off white foamy head with small floaties. Aroma of belgian yeast, candied sugar, some oranges, caramel and a little musty. Flavors of the same with some roasted malts and various other spices.

A fine Belgian dubbel, with much to recommend. Lovely appearance: a rich chestnut brown, a bit hazy, with a thick souffle-style head that lingered well and spackled the chalice. Intriguing aroma crowned by one of those lip-smacking yeasts that the Belgians seem to have a monopoly on. There’s a slight musty note, bubblegum, faint root ginger and honey. Medium-bodied and very creamy, with some tingly carbonation at the front of the mouth. Spicy flavour profile includes toffee, ginger, green apples and a cashew nuttiness. Very easy drinking for its 6.5% abv, with a long, lingering bitterness in the swallow. I didn’t wait long enough to let his warm properly, and at fridge temperature the finish had an interesting minty mouthwash overtone. (33cl bottle, Megabeer, bb 7/7/08)

Bottle. Frothy white excellent head. Mosltly lasting. Nice range colour. Powerfull orange-like aroma. Very caramellic taste and wonderfull palate. A good beer.

Deep dark red with a thin white-ish head, fruity malty aroma with a sweet malty taste but has a slightly fizzy harsh palate. Cave ageing aside not the best Dubbel by far.
