Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur rougeâtre foncée, belle mousse crêmeuse mais moins de tenue que la quadrupel. Subtil équilibre entre arômes fruités, épicés et caramélisés. Superbe texture, comme toutes les autres Trappes. La soeur "soft" de la quadrupel. Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.

It’s caramel aroma is so strong you could almost call it caramelbeer. But it’s good at that. Pours a dark brown color with a rather white foam. It’s aroma contains apart from the caramel a rather nice chocolate. Very sweet in taste and overall highly enjoying.

Meravigliosa dubbel, sinceramente non mi aspettavo tanto da questa birra, e invece molto notevole. Cioccolato al naso evidente, e in bocca ancora cioccolato e fruttato, enjoy...

Dark toffee/mahogany color. Thick creamy tan-ish colored head. Some lacing left behind. Smells of malt thinned out by alcohol. Big alcohol presence in the mouth, both in taste and warmth. Not the best dubbel I’ve had. And this was fresh from the tap at the source.

(Bottle 01/08-2011) Low light brown head, dark amber color, caramel taste, medium sweet, medium body.

Pours a cloudy dark brown with a nice frothy light brown head. Aroma of dark fruits, yeast and caramel with hints of spices. Taste is quite fruity, with caramel, roasted malt leading to a warming alcohol flavour and a light bitter finish.. Lovely dubbel.

30 cL bottle: Appearance is a deep dark brown iwht a creamy off white head. Aroma is of spices, yeast and malt. Flavor is a mixture between some roasted malt, yeast and Belgian like spices.
