Bottle from Winking Lizard. Pours a lustrous ruby-brown color with a medium off-white head that has good retention. Patches of lacing on the glass. Bouquet of fruits and spices, as well as some yeast and malt. Medium-bodied with roasted malt, yeast and spice flavors. Dark fruit and hops undertones as well. The finish is fruit and oak with a spicy yeast aftertaste. Solid all around.

0,75 l bottle. Beautiful hazy red-brown color with a huge beige head.The aroma is a little yeast and roasted malts with some vanilla and fruits. The flavour is the same as the aroma with the roasted malt, some sweetness and a moderated citrus-fruity character.Creamy caramel and a little acidic aftertaste.

75 cl. bottle. Pours a nice hazy dark brown colour with a medium well lasting beige head. Aroma of toasted malt, yeast, fruits and bit of spices. Very good mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant yeastiness, soft sweetness, toasted malt, good fruitiness, caramel and some spices.

on tap. dark brown with a firm head. Fruity aroma, some bananas. Malty. A bit dry for a dubbel but good nonetheless

Bottled. Pours a slightly hazy brown with reddish hints and a medium sized soda like beige head. Alka selzeresque carbonation. The aroma is yeast, fruity, sweet malt, and spices. The flavor exhibits semi sweet malt, yeast, mild fruits (not as much as the nose would indicate). The finish is dry. Solid but not spectacular, or even above average.

On tap at Sharp Edge. Pours a really dark, yet clear brown with hints of red. A thick off-white head. Nose of rich caramel, toffee, with a touch of figs. Tastes of toffee, brown sugar, and other dark sweetness with a little bit of alcohol. A good yeasty kick too.

Poured a tawny brown with a good sized head and nice lacing. Nose was plums and figs, sweet caramel was the main taste I picked up. An OK Abbey Dubbel, but not outstanding in any real regard

750 brought home by my lovely wife. A very handsome beer on the pour, with ruby shining through the body and a robust, lasting head. Fairly typical aroma for a dubbel, with some dried fig and plum notes along with sweet malts. Those flavors carry through and increase in prominence the further you get into the beer. Strange, slightly tart dry finish gives it a quirky character. Solid brew.
