Jul 27, 2007 Black beer with a reddish brown tinge and a strong bubbly head. Aroma has some apple fruit and a touch of chocolate. Taste is fruity, rather malty, with dried fruit, marzipan, tropical fruit, notes of brown sugar and syrup. Well balaced finish.

Jul 24, 2007 I untwisted the metal cap and POP goes the cork in this huge 750 ml bottle of Dubbel. Mine isn’t the fatter bottle displayed in the accompanying picture. Mine is about the size of a wine bottle. Expiration date 11-2009. Nice, rich, dark copper-amber color with a whole lot of beige head that sticks around for a while. The carbonation stays alive for most of the session. A clean fruity sensation on my nose and not overpowering. Just about right. Bold mouth feel. The 8% alcohol level made me a bit light headed but it was worth it. A tasty, strong brew.

Jul 23, 2007 The first taste I found the alcohol taste too strong but after a while it disappeared. A fine beer.

Jul 23, 2007 Pours a deep reddish-brown with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, candy sugar, and dark fruit. Flavor is dark fruit up front with candy sugar characteristics and a slight taste of alcohol. A nice, well-balanced beer.

Jul 21, 2007 Ruby-red / brown colour, off-white head. Lots of fruits in the aroma. Flavours: fruits (plums, raisin), caramel. Very balanced beer. Long aftertaste.

Jul 18, 2007 From bottle at Paters Vaetje. Somewhere between dark bronze colour to mahogny with a creamy tan head that leaves nice lacework. Molasses aroma with some yeastiness. Sweet caramel flavours, some yeasty spiciness as well as fruit. Medium body, slightly oily textuyre. Not quite living up to my expectations.

Jul 15, 2007 Bottled. Murky brown ale w/ nose of yeast, sugar & alcohol. Taste is astringent, bitter & slightly off-putting. Linger grows on you, but this is only slightly above average.

Jul 14, 2007 Updated: Jul 27, 2007Pours almost black with a large slightly off-white head. Smells of yeast, a bit of malt, as well as some other things(a bit of fruit?). Taste isn’t as complex as some other Belgians of this this style, but still very good. It has a good finish, lingers for a nice while. This is one of my favorites of the style, though I prefer Chimay Blue.
