Brouwser (119), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Mar 29, 2008 Bière de couleur ambrée avec des reflets bourgognes, claire. Au service, elle présente un col moyen et vif qui réduit jusqu’à devenir une pellicule de bulle qui reste présente tout le long de la dégustation. Apparence impeccable, appétissante.
Le parfum est avant tout malté et alcoolique, rappel le whisky. Il y a aussi le caramel, les fruits noirs et une pointe d’anis ou de girofle.
Le goût est sucré, malté et alcoolique. Il y a bien les notes de caramel et d’épices. À la fin, il y a un délicat retour d’amertume.
La bouche est liquoreuse, mais nette et pétillante. C’est un alliage qui rappel la complexité malté d’un spiritueux tout en gardant la fraîcheur de la bière.
Superbe bière!
DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Mar 28, 2008 Pours a brownish copper color with a thin tan head. Aroma of merlot, chocolate, and a light fruit scent. Taste is very wine-like. Lots of grapes with a smooth caramelly body. The finish is a little dry. Nice level of carbonation and a very well balanced drink. Vas19 (293), Maryland, USA Mar 28, 2008 Pours murky brown with tan head. Grape/raisin aroma. Highly carbonated. Malty caramel flavor with some grape/raisin and a hint of coffee on the finish. A touch of alcohol in there too. Bragesnak (2223), Aarhus, Denmark Mar 23, 2008 Bouillon, Belgium

Malty and roasted, spices and caramel and long lasting taste kassner (429), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 18, 2008 Had this beer on Tap at one of the best Belgian Bars in the States, Sharp Edge Creek House. Brown slightly hazy, with modest foam, very much like a sour. Full bodoed and resin aftertaste. As almost always at Sharp edge poured in its own glass.. Typical fruity aromas and the alscohol though plenty is not noticeable. jhumphries69 (717), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Mar 17, 2008 33cl bottle. Pours deep brown with ruby (almost violet) highlights and a thick, uneven, cloudy, light tan head that is somewhat long-lasting. The aroma is complex - soft fruit, dark toast, alcohol, peppery spice, tobacco, wood, and sweet malts. The flavor follows the aroma - starting bready with some residual sweetness, some dark toast melanoidins, fruity esters, and yeast. At mid-tongue, the beer dries out with yeast, subtle flowery hops, and peppery/spicey esters gaining strength. The beer finishes dry and spicy with just a hint of dark toast and residual sweetness. The mouthfeel is vigorously carbonated - very sparkley. Swishing the beer in the mouth and releasing the carbon-dioxide reveals a medium-body with a slightly oily texture. Overall, a very good, complex, and (most importantly) drinkable abbey dubbel. JohnQPublic (387), Brooklyn, New York, USA Mar 17, 2008 Updated: Mar 23, 2008Draught @ Flying Saucer, Charlotte. Pours dark brown, moderate head, long lasting. Aroma is sweet, some dried fruit, caramel. Taste is very malty, slightly yeasty, sweet, hints of fruit. Moderately high carbonation, thin mouthfeel, almost watery. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada Mar 15, 2008 Bouteille de 750 ml. Mousse blanche très abondante qui reste. La bières est de couleur rubis tirant sur le rouge vin profond. Au nez la bière s’exprime par des arômes de pomme de tire, de caramel, de levure, de sucre d’orge, de cerises confites et de fruits rouges très murs. En bouche nos papilles gustatives sont confrontées avec des flaveurs de pommes rouges, de caramel au beurre, de sucre d’orge et de cerises confites. La bière possède un bon corps également. Le 8% d’alcool est plutôt bien camouflé.
