3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Will have to re-rate as my notes are full of the match I was watching and some gobshite who was winding me up instead of the beer. It was a good dubbel, one of the styles where I rarely dislike anything. The usual dubbel experience and I liked it. Sorry beer people I should really try harder.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This pours a hazy very dark brown color with a thick tan head that settles down to a thin layer. The aroma is rather nice with licorice and some plums, figs and raisins. The flavor is rather weak and too simple and overall quite thin. Licorice up front with a flat dark fruity flavor following, some cardboard in there, touch of sherry, and the finish is somewhat empty. Hmm, this grew on me a little after a few sips and I admit I’ve had the bottle a little while but I thought this one would be better.

750 mL bottle. Dirty brown pour with a medium fizzy tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel and yeast. Medium body with malt and yeast present. Middle of the road dubbel, which means its still very good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
250ml bottle from Volo. Pretty much a typical Trappist Doubbel if you ask me. It was good, but what Abbey Dubbels arent? I may purchase this a few more times.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
11.2 oz bottle with an ABV of 7% on the label. This beer is a very dark brown with maybe some red tints with a lingering tan head. The smell is very fruity, chocolates, and also vinegar. The taste is malty and fruity but it smells better than it tastes. If you like dubbels, this delivers.

Pours copper amber with off white head. Aroma is malty, caramel. Taste is caramel, raisin/dark fruit, molasses, spicy/phenolic, with some honey in the dry finish. This was a great dubbel.

330ml bottle. Poured a dark coppery brown with a tan creamy head. Burnt caramel aroma with a licorice aftertaste. Smooth and tasty - a good sipping beer to savour and enjoy.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: DEC 19, 2009 Bottle 33cl. Nice Dark amber colour beer, the head disappeard quickly. Taste is nice with deep malt flavour. The beginning smells as chocolate/malt with fruit / licorice aroma. The end is a bit astringent from typical trappist yeast very fruty, smell like an apple .
