3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is a nice cola brown color with a rather large tan head. Nose is of dark fruits, rather sweet. Taste is very much the staple of a dubbel, as one would expect from a trappist brewery.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pours murky brown with small yellow fizz. Smells of dark fruits, yeasty, earthy, and malty. Tastes sweet malted, a bit like dark fruits, very little bitterness. Full-bodied with a smooth, slick texture and average mouth-carbonation, Koningshoeven Dubbel finishes surprisingly fruity, but it doesn’t linger for long.

On tap. Reddish with off-white that quickly diminishes and maintain a thin layer. Aroma is to toasted malt, caramel, brown sugar. Flavour is sweet and long. On palate results dense and creamy, with flat carbonation and medium to full body.

3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33cl bottle. poured in my favorite glass "Vapeur Cochonne". Hazy dark amber with a small tan head that goes off quickly leaving a fine layer on top.
Nose : Alcohol, smoky oak, irish cofee, cherry and pear. Banana.
Sip : Foamy but not a mouthful. Sweet like caramel with a feeling of a nice dry liquor. On the end I feel chocolate/coffee like aftertaste. Surprisingly balanced and when served well chilled I might enjoy several glasses of this brew.
