| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2007 Without that strong aroma that Belgian Trappists have, this beer has a bit of a sweetness to it. It is softer than Belgians. Good, but not my favorite Trappist. RSRIZZO (1362), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 10, 2007 Had on 7/29/2007. Labeled as Koningshoeven. Aroma is a spicy scent with a nice sweet caramel back tone. Color is a rich amber with very good carbonation and a thick tight head. Taste is light yet sweet. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down smooth with a fluffy feel. Finish comes on with easy sweet malt flavor that has good tones of Belgian yeast, then a gentle bitterness that leads to a somewhat dry yet mildly sweet end and after taste. This is not the best Dubbel I have had but still a beautiful beer. DownsouthGav (602), Greater London, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Nose of malt, bread and dates. Pours a nice reddish brown/mahogany translucent beer. Decent carbonation. Mouthfeel is soft, sticky and malty. Taste is sweet with notes of fruits and malt dominant. Nicely spiced. Taste finishes with a roastedness and some alcohol intrusion. A good beer.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 29, 2007 Bottle @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Reddish brown color. Rather weak in the body as weel as taste. Bit watery. Aromas are all there but just lacking. SamGamgee (1420), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Nice looking opaque chestnut with a good cream head, leaves good lacing. Smells like dough with some sweet citrus thrown in. Flavors aren’t as rich as other dubbels, and the body is a bit too thin as well. Nice balance, but nothing really good going for it besides a nice appearance.
