I had this on tap at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville, NC under the Koningshoeven Dubbel Trappist Ale name. Beautiful ruby red with a slight apple/pear undertone without being sweet... absolutely yummy.

buona intensità: lieviti, malti tostati, caramello, zucchero. Leggero fruttato e note alcoliche
[GUSTO]
buona intensità, con un dolce inziale di caramello, note zuccherate, lievito. Poi procede con un fruttato non molto pronunciato per finire con un toni amari e torrefatti, a cui si aggiungono sentori alcolici
[TEXTURE]
corpo medio, buona carbonazione, alcohol percettibile
[COMMENTO FINALE]
belgian strong dark ale tendenzialmente dolciastra con un fruttutato non preponderante e un tostado finale interessante che controbilancia il tutto. Alcolicità ben dosata. Per il resto, pulita, consistente in bocca e molto piacevole.

Dark brown color, nice light brown head, medium/light bitterness. I particulary like this "dubbel", because, besides the regular "dubbel"-taste, it also has a nice added sweetness that i like
