3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 TET (685) - FINLAND - MAR 19, 2010
Very dark brown brown beer with medium beige head. Roastiness, some milky sourness and hint of sweet fruits in the aroma. Flavour is different than aroma, sweet, dark fruits, some roasted malts and spices: flavour could be more stronger. Medium body and quite high carbonation, but still quite nice to drink. Good dubbel but I have feeling that too many compromises have been done; this could be better beer with more passion and courage.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 FreshHawk (596) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAR 14, 2010
Bottle.
A - Reddish brown / ruby color. Off white and pretty light / frothy head.
S - Sugary sweet and some dark fruit, also has a spicy and medicinal smell.
T - Fairly sweet, some of this from a fruity dark fruit (but not as much as most Belgians). Sweet caramel malts. This is cut somewhat by a spices and a medicinal flavor. Has the alcohol taste is surprisingly present considering the ABV (not overpowering just more than you would expect).
M - Smooth and medium bodied.
D - A little too unbalanced sweetness for me to drink multiple ones of this beer.
Notes: Fairly cloying. Kind of like a spicy/warming liquid candy. This was better than what I expected it to be, and not a bad beer but not a great one.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 rozsoma (200) - HUNGARY - FEB 21, 2010
The father of every abbey beer. I think it was the first brew that i get knew beyond the mass-produced lagers. So this launched me to the way of discovering the world of ales and the other beautiful beers in the world. So, nice black (dark-red), velvety body with right thickness, good malty sweetness, and long falloff. It’s like bread, you could may bite it. Later as you hold it in your mouth, the body became syrupy and pleasantly stroke your palate. The carbonation and alcohol are well-hidden. Fruityness in the aftertaste which refresh me.

Great Beer. Purchased online via TheBeerBox Mexico.What can i say about this incredible brew?Well the body its obiously chocolate-brown dark, with a big abundant tan head, and a very malty aroma, with any carbonation at all and some chocolate notes as well as any strong resemblance of hops, the palate its very creamy and drinkable.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Yeast and pit fruit aromas. Sweet and nutty upfront turning fruity in the middle and then into a lasting bitter earth finish.
