boxofrane (423) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 2, 2012
Bottle. Pours brown (or Brune!) with a puffy off-white head that leaving a decent amount of lacing. The aroma is bready with some minor dark fruit. Taste is full of caramel and extremely sweet but has a little bitterness on the finish. The palate is medium and fits the brew well. Very good.

nicojames (2) - SPAIN - MAY 29, 2012 does not count
Hazy brown, cloudy, firm frothy head, lovely sweet malty nose with yeast, figs, chocolate and spice. Very frothy on the palate, perhaps too frothy although I love the sweet malty notes which just flow through and make this an easy to enjoy beer.

JefVerstraete (90) - BELGIUM - MAY 29, 2012
Brown, very malty, mass-produced beer. Notes of caramel and chocolate, a little bitterness but why is this so sweet?

Finhead (705) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - MAY 25, 2012
A dark brown pour with a tan head. The aroma has notes of raisin and caramel. The initial taste reminded me little bit of Dr. Pepper soda. It is sugary sweet with malty caramel and dark fruit flavor.

TheCametron (804) - SCOTLAND - MAY 25, 2012
Bottle. Ruby broon with a resilient beige head. A solid beer in spite of the mass availability. Textbook raisiny sweetness and candy sugar. Yeasty but not overly so. Caramelised plums and a touch of banana. Well put together.

En gammal vän. Brun, grumlig med ett smutsvitt skum. Doftar av bröd, malt, torkad frukt. Bra maltighet, jäst, kryddighet, banan mm i smaken.

fdomig (73) - Feldkirch, AUSTRIA - MAY 23, 2012
330ml bottle. Aroma is malt and caramel, sweetness. Aroma is very, very dark amber, thin brown-ish head. Sweet malty flavour, light bitterness, caramel. Has a very good mouthfeel, long lasting sweet-ish, malty finish. Very good dubbel. I like it more than the blonde Leffe, specially in winter.
