A classic. I got shwasted off this bad boy until 2 am and was pwn3d 6 hours later at work. Enjoyed at Vol de Nuit in nyc but also had a small sample of this at Gingerman’s in SoNo, CT. Poured on the darker side. Notes of yeast and dough, maybe some raisin.

[750ml bottle from Sainsbury’s, Reading, shared with Jim to celebrate him moving house] Deep but lively brown with a moderate lasting beige head. Far too fizzy - this would be better with a softer carbonation. Flavour is some burnt malts but increasingly tastes just of muscovado suger/ molasses. A sticky, bittersweet finish. Pleasant enough but a little one-dimensional.

A great complex Belgium beer. It starts out sweet and then ends with a nice dry finish. A great balance of sweetness and dryness, which is difficult to find!

Pours a clear caramel coloured body with a medium sized, ice cream like head that has a vanilla colour. Aromas of vanilla as well as syrup and toast. flavors of pancakes, earth and walnuts. The head leaves a very sticky lacing. a tastey beer, a tad on the sweet side for me. but very enjoyable.

330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cool in a tulip glass.

App.: Slightly reddish brown, decent greyish-tan head. Aroma: Loads of yeast and fresh bread dough, some light spices and minty herbals, caramel and toffee, a bit of dark dried fruits, Palate: Medium body and soft but present effervescence. Flav.: Still plenty of yeasty and bread dough, the more spice raisins than the nose, a fair bit of toffee and treacle, light minty herbals, lightly nutty; almost a dirty yeast finish that isn’t very pleasant.

It is nice to have this in the LCBO and to find it on tap, though it isn’t my favourite Dubbel.

Bottle 75cl. Pours a brown, cola-like body with a big, light-brown head that is mostly lasting. Malty aroma with hints of dark chocolate and brown sugar. Couldn’t find the caramel and fruity notes i would expect. Flavor is light bitter but ends in a light sweet tone.

Dark ruby appearance with a malty head. Caramel aromas. Initial taste of roasted malt and nut flavors. Finished very smooth with notes of butterscotch. Very rounded, complex beer with a great mouthfeel. Yummy!
