750ml bottle.
Head is mostly lasting. Body is dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted nuts, caramel, molasses), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of overripe banana, clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. The pre-rotting fruit smell is a bit off-putting, and it’s quite sweet, but overall not too bad.

Sep 3, 2008 (Draught at Old Bank, Turku, on 2008-08-29) Dark reddish brown. Clear. Hardly any head. Light malty nose. Full bodied palate with little carbonation. Chocolate, bitterness, fruitiness and slighty berry like flavours in taste.

Aug 29, 2008 500mL Bottle. Pours a red beer with a fast disappearing head. Aroma of spices, with yeast and malt. Sweet beer though most Dubbels are. Tastes similar to its aroma. Cherry-Fruit flavours evident. This Dubbel seemed lacking flavour and was short finishing compared to others. Perhaps I was too wow’ed with the bottle and expected more. Very drinkable though.

Aug 26, 2008 Like all trappist beers; this one is very flavourful and well balanced. Darker fruits (prunes, raisins), roasted malts, caramel, coffee. Finish is a tad bitter. Excellent

Aug 26, 2008 A little hazy ruby/brown colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma of yeast and malts with some dark fruits. The taste of sweet caramel, with cherry fruits. A smooth and little thin beer. It’s not a bad beer at all.
