3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Koningshoeven Dubbel at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville. Nutty, malty flavor with traces of yeast. Dark fruits as well. Lightly sweet, but not overly so. Faint carbonation was perfect for the style. Just the right strength without being too alcoholic. Mild alcohol finish.

Poured into a La Trappe chalice. Rich head dissapates quickly leaving a swirling galaxy of soft bubbles and brandy stewed pears. Very fruit, stone fruit and caramel syrup with a restraing pepper spice. The alcohol gives a sense of texture and bolsters the fruit. A light dusting of cacao powder and a touch of percieved oak dry the palate out. Of all of the Trappists, this is the lightest in carbonation, and certainly built of fruity esters cooked sugar elements.

I had this on tap at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville, NC under the Koningshoeven Dubbel Trappist Ale name. Beautiful ruby red with a slight apple/pear undertone without being sweet... absolutely yummy.

On tap at Beer Bistro. It pours a beautiful ruby red, wonderful ripe fruit aftertaste, with a clean smooth finish. Essential that it is served in a trappist glass to experience the aroma.

Bottle 0.33 l. Deep brown colour, medium head, very rich sweet fruity aroma, plummy, slightly caramelly, malty and fruity palate. Long sweet aftertaste...
3.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a very attractive dark amber with a creamy, fading head. Sadly, there is very little on the nose. Thankfully it more than makes up for it in the mouth! Creamy, rich, but not too heavy mouth feel. The taste is vanilla, brown suger, baked apple and caramel. A very tasty drop
