rane (494), Nibe, Denmark Jan 28, 2007 Bottle: Nice beer. Dark brown with medium brownish head. Aroma of malts and very sweet. Taste dominated by malt and again very sweet. DanBerg (59), Alkmaar, Netherlands Jan 26, 2007 My first experience with an abbey dubbel wasn’t very good. This was my first one since a long time. 2 bottles and one glass from the tap. Amazing beer. Nice flavor and beautiful dark brown colour. The alcohol is hidden very well, that’s very positive. KingofCastle (202), London, Ontario, Canada Jan 25, 2007 bottle: What a great beer. Both the blonde & the brune remind me of the holdiays & are great winter beers. Pours dark brown colour with frothy, puffy white head. The label says roasted malts give a sweet caramel taste but also bitter - that about says it. Very sweet, malty, fruity beer that just about overwhelms the palate but not quite. This is a stronger ale: I think I prefer the blonde (crisper) while this one’s alcohol taste is a little too strong at times. Still, we are talking quality and excellent example of style. eeblah (79), Arizona, USA Jan 24, 2007 Good over all Belgium beer. Nice dark brown color. Well balanced. Good in the cooler months faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Jan 22, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown colour with a nice average lasting light-brown head. Sweet, malty and hoppy aroma. Flavour of toasty malts, caramel, some spices, hops. Sweetish and bitter finish. MissKicha (5), Denver, Colorado, USA does not count Jan 18, 2007 Bottle. Light body for a bruin. Dark brown with light lacing. Wine and raisin aroma. A slight sourness. Yeast gas in the end. eyesandsmiles (179), Mission Viejo, California, USA Jan 18, 2007 Updated: Apr 17, 2007Its definitely better than the blonde though harder to find in the bars. A solid dark beer. gunnfryd (3539), Kristiansand, Norway Jan 16, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is cellar notes, fruit. Flavour is cellar notes, fruit, apple, sweet.
