Dark brown, nice head. Malty and yeasty, long bitter finish. Not very complex but overall a nice dubbel.

Clear brown color and a huge head. Yeasty tones amidst a malty body. Vanilla flavors and a spicy end (cloves?). Maybe a little toffee tucked away in the middle. Full mouth feel and a creamy texture. Good smooth drinking beer.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2003 Re-rate: Pours delightful with is light brown stirofoam head and a deep, deep brown colour. Great malty and yeasty taste that is sweet yet has an off-dry finish.

Good taste but something extra that i don’t like.

Let me say right away that I prefer the maltyness of dubbels to the spiciness of tripels (which doniate the market for Belgians in Australia. Thus I jumped at this despite it being from the undistinguished Interbrew Corp. The aroma & flavour were highly malty, so I liked it, even though slightly medicinal. Finish is a little sweet but that’s alright in my book too.

Full flavored complex brew. Much better than the blond, very nice.

A very good, flavoursome beer. Slightly bitter flavours are complemented by an excellent aroma. As with the Leffe Blonde, ths beer leaves a slightly dry palate.

The beer has a fruity aroma with a large frothy head and an intense coffee taste, with the bitterness of the beer coming through a second later. A pleasant Belgium brune.

Chocolatey in a lot of ways - colour, smell, flavour. You can taste the alcohol in a not necessarily great way. Prefer it to the triple, and a nice drop of Belgian generally but nothing on the trappistes.
