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.

Aug 31, 2008 very dark brown color, has a fruity taste, I also taste some spice and a little bit of caramel. has almostly no hop flavour; it’s also a little too sweet for me, but it isn’t that bad, especially not if you like sweet Abbey beers

Aug 21, 2008 This is an ok brune. It is way to sweet for me and there is next to no hop flavor. The sweetness adds to it’s drinkability but I think they should focus more on bringing some other flavors out. St. Feuillien Brune is alot better.
