3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very rich flavorful beer. Starts of a bit tart with cherries and raisins, finishes very smooth and refreshing. Had it this one on draught for my first taste. Looking forward to having this in bottle to compare.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Not a shabby tasting abbey dubbel but one that I was not all too impressed with upon my tasting. It’s a good intro-brew into the Dubbels but there are fare better tasting ones on the market. Some reminiscence of chocolate and dark fruits along with some hints of biscuit dough and lemon zest. This brew is okay by itself but would pair up better with some cheesy pasta.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 330ml bottle on 21/12/2011. Pours a cloudy reddy amber with a good head. Has a subdued aroma of caramel, dark fruit, and spices. The flavour is a relatively mild combination of caramel, toffee and dark fruit, some Christmas cake, and a decent spicy bitterness at the back. Decent but not mind blowing.
