[33cl bottle from Morrisons.] Reddish brown with a dense cream head, rather lively when first poured; rather sickly aroma, with caramel and yeast to the fore; really nice chewy malt flavours with lots of caramel and nuts and a trace of bubble gum; light fruity finish - not over sweet. Very pleasant apart from the aroma.

Dark Brown color with a rich creamy head. Medium bodied, sweet malty aroma with fruity and caramel hints. Fruity taste wih lots of yeast. Nice , slightly inferior to Westmalle Dubbel.

Bottle at home. One of the best beers I’ve enjoyed recently. Very good oatmeal flavour, light taste, not too overwhelming.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2009 750 ml, thanks lithy. Dark brown with a lasting head and sugary lace. Aroma of brown sugar, spicy molasses, cocoa and light berry. Flavor is the same, but more so. Medium body is watery and finishes dryish.

Too red. This is lousy. Actually its not too bad. Once again smells like hard candy. Tastes like rancid hard candy. The only difference between this and their tripel is this is darker, less carbonated, and slightly better

Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a large-ish tan head. Aroma and flavor are both mostly molasses (I think?), light fruits, slightly roasted malt, and hint of yeast. Not a bad dubbel, but not really among the best; could use more yeast and at least a hint of hops.

Dark maroon with explosive tan head. Aroma of peanuts and malt. Flavor of almonds, caramel and malt with a slight bitter finish.
