Bottle. Pours a hazy ruby with thin head. Dark cherry aroma and flavour. Sweet full-bodied finish.

Very sweet overall. Some nice dark fruits and dried cherries. Earthy and yeasty.

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.

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.

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.

Cerveja trapista - minha primeira. Coloração rubro escura, quase preta. Espuma densa, caramelo. Cheiro caramelizado, suave - bom. Gaseificada. Retrogosto amargo. Sabor caramelo gostoso.

Bottle @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Reddish brown color. Rather weak in the body as weel as taste. Bit watery. Aromas are all there but just lacking.

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.
