3.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Drank from a bottle at home. Beautiful dark brown colour and really nice and smooth head. Tastes good and sweet.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle: alcohol too overpowering, licor like. Lacks depth, one sided. Average.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Refrigerated 11,2 oz. brown bottle poured into an abbey glass. Pours dark brown with large chestnut hightlights and medium/low off-white head. Some small bubble lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and dark fruit aroma. Taste is sweet dark fruit. Good dubbel.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled from bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Dark brown color, small to medium sized off-white head. A bit sweet, but a fine Abbey Dubbel. Average body and carbonation.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A sniff of toffee, a nice sweetness not overpowering. Taste is light fruity / citris and considering the aroma, its suprisingly nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft in Belgium. Reddish brown with a foamy beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, toffee, and spicy yeast esters, very light alcohol. Flavor is prunes and caramel with some spicy/earthy yeast, alcohol well hidden in the taste. Medium body with smooth carbonation. I’ve had this before in the bottle but it was killer on draft.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very tight and firm malty nose.
Dense head, keeping quit well.
Well rounded balanced body.
Ive never been a fan of bruins but this one is quite nice.
Cheers
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy brown with spongy beige head, caramel-roasted malt aroma, fizzy, caramel flavor, long finish. One of the best abbey dubbels I have tasted.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cherrywood, opaque, looks like a good accompaniment to a real fire, which is always good; not much of a head; typical Belgian yeast aroma - banana and solvent; sweet flavour of red berry fruit which develops nicely as the beer warms; high carbonation; fruitiness lingers with some nice earthy hops in the finish; another decent but far from outstanding Belgian, bit too fizzy if anything.

NYC Trip Beer #11. Tried out Vol de Nuit in the West Village and was really disappointed. All Belgian list, but nothing rare or outside the mainstream. Seems like a cool concept with poor execution. Why add this information? Because I think atmosphere can add or detract from a rater’s impression of a beer. Poured a deep amber. Sweet yet bland flavoring. This beer seems like a run-of-the-mill Dubbel. Bottle - Vol de Nuit - New York, NY
