Dec, 2002 Malt. That’s all. Just bloody malt. This is crude stuff - like a homebrew gone badly wrong. Malt. With alcohol. Not complex, delicious malt full of flavours - just malt. Malt. Malt. Malt. And alcohol. Why did the monks chose the Bavaria Brewery? Bavaria have no experience in top fermented brewing. This is dreadful. Just malt. I seriously cannot believe how bad this is. Because it’s called a Trappist ale and it tastes this bad this deserves the lowest possible marks. Just malt for christsakes! [0.5]
Nov, 2005 Surprisingly light bodied - quite thin in fact. Dry. Chocolate notes. Some dark bitterness. Not much of interest happening. [2.4]

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.
