Bottled. Pours dark amber with a light brown head that almost forms a thin dirty yellow line where the head meets the beer. Aroma is malty, bread, belgian yeast, and some sweet bubble gum notes that remind me of Crest Sparkle toothpaste. Flavor is sweet belgian yeast with a hint of bubble gum, and some dark fruits. Very smooth with a good mid ranged body.

Very active aroma with a charcoal traces. Good lasting head and a really nice color. The taste is present for quite a while and is bitter, sour and a little salty. Has a oily texture and a lively carbonation. You can feel a metallic taste in your mouth.

A brown little reddish coloured beer with small off white head. Malty yeasty aroma. Full little sweet palate. Ending is bitter, herby and dry.

Incredibel taste, roaster barley malts and a bit herbal hit at the end. aroma is scarce, and appearance does not fit with a good trapist, is too much carbonated and the foam quicky disapear, leaving a simple liquid in the glas, however flavor is great.

This dark brown ale poured with a thin brown head. There is an initial deep caramel malt flavor that belies the complexity to follow as the beer warms. The spices and fruit flavors become evident, along with a carbonated mouthfeel. It is a bit light for a dubbel, but is also more refreshing, as the commercial description indicates.
