On tap at the Malt House - Pours a reddish-brown with a small white head. Smells sour with some citrusy and malty notes, cherries, and honey. Taste is sweet malt with some subtle spice, cherries, and sweet apples. Yum. It’s smooth and syrupy, with a little too much carb. This was a tasty and refreshing beer.

Very intense for a dubbel, dark with strong Belgian character. Pours thick with a large head. Pretty well balanced and overall one of my favorite Belgian ales.

High head on an amber body. Strong, excellenet for a heavy meal, makes you feel welle. Better for Winter than Summer, but that’s a question of taste

Beer poors a cloudy deep amber with a large white head. Carbonation is strong keeping a nice head through the duration of the beer. Aroma is nice with figs and raisin coming through. Beer flavor continues with citrus, roasted grain, and dried fruits coming through. Beer finished a lot dryer than expected but I think this what really makes the beer for me. Overall this is a great dubbel and I look forward to having more.

Bottle. A cloudy dark amber beer with a huge and persistent beige head. Nioce aroma of toasted malts with note sof caramel, nuts. dark fruits and toffee. Light alcohol too. The flavour is quite sweet with light acidity and maybe some licorice and chocolate notes. Medium body, lively carbonation, quite long finish with light to medium bitterness, lightly alcoholic. Surprisingly not with a strong body, and overall not too complex. However fully drinkable.

On tap at stone bistro. Red/brown pour, very thin off-white head. Plum, raisin, dried fruits, caramel, hints of chocolate, cinnamin, and clove. Some of the alchohol does come through. Decent strong belgian ale.

dark copper with dark beige head. aromas of chocolate, caramel and spice. quite refreshing mouthfeel and flavors of prunes, burnt sugars, spice and even a bit of hoppiness.

Almost pitch black in colour, solid head. Full-bodied with nice roasted notes and little sourness for an ale, reminding me a bit of good old Czech dark beers. Splendid.
