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.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 highlandlad (1319) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - JAN 3, 2006
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)

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.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 robertsreality (2460) - Minnesota, USA - DEC 31, 2005
Brown/Red Coloring with White Sandy Head. Belgian Yeast..Spice and Fruit and Malty Background. Nice Taste, but Seemingly Light For a Dubbel.
