Not bad for a mass produced beer. Poured from 50cl can into Leffe chalice. Aroma is chocolate, malt, slightly sweet. Dark brown with fast fading head. Taste is burnt toast, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar. Mildly dry and lingering finish. Nice to know this is readily available around the world.

0,33l bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel taste with some yeast. Medium body.

Dark brown color, medium white head.Aroma of caramel, malt, wheat and yeast. Sweet taste of roasted malts, caramel, wheat and dark fruits. Medium body and fizzy carbonation. Not that complex as many other examples of this style, but still very pleasant dark ale.

0,33l bottle. Brown color. Aroma is malt and fruits. Taste is caramel, fruits, sugar and some yeast. Very good and tasty beer.

30cl bottle @ home. Brown beer with a beige head. Caramale, brown sugar and dark fruit. Nice beer but maybe a bit too sweet.

This is a very good dubbel. Roasted, brown sugar, some banana and plum. I actually prefer this to the tripel.

33cl on tap @ ExistenzWeek in the old bottling hall of Stella Artois Leuven. Warm, chocolat, malty aroma. Brown, with a reddish shimmer in it, tan creamy head with lovely lacing. This one was a perfect draft. Caramel, malty and chocolat taste. A bit of a bitter finish, but nice mouthfeel.

Pretty good beer. The classic tastes and aromas of Belgium, and the feeling is mild, and at the same time characteristic. Nicely balance between fruity and bitter.

Pours see-thru deep brown-ruby with a heavy tan head. Aroma is dark, sweet malt, pepper. Flavour is.....malt, spiced...(prune)? Pepper, chocolate. Almost something that reminds me of sorghum.... Creamy...delicious.

Mainly sweet, dark sugary fruits. Pours deep brown with nice cream head and lacing. Lot of maltiness. Nice if slightly one dimensional. 750ml bottle from Asda.
