An old-time favorite to me, in a 33 cl bottle with an ivory-colored tag, poured in a Maredsous glass (bought at least 6 in a package with Maredsous 8 and 10 in 75 cl bottles and a glass, for 19,99$, last summer, (what a dea!l). A well balanced brew, pretty carbonated, rather sweet and spicy aroma, lasting foam, but with a sweetness in the taste that is more subtle then many beers of this kind, with a lot of complexities in the flavors, ranging between brown sugar, fruityness, sourness and and bitter pleasant finish. A beer I often felt tasted differently... Great intriguing beer.

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 at flying saucer, very creamy smooth spicy. Aroma was fruity and somewhat like a hefeweizen. Was very good!

750ml bottle. Pours a thick, reddish brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is citrusy and indicative of a good amount of hops. The flavor agrees, and also included caramel notes, along with a musty character. It was mostly dry, but there was some sweetness to it up front. There is a little alcohol bite in the finish. Left a nice lacing on the glass.

750 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish-brown with a sizable and frothy tan head. Some plums in the aroma, as well as chocolate and hops. Well-balanced bitterness, full flavor. Notes of chocolate, spicy finish with a touch of alcohol (which is otherwise well-hidden). Quite nice and very drinkable for its strength.
