UPDATED: MAY 15, 2004 Lightly sedimented dark reddish brown. The aroma is full of fruit, rasberry, passionfruit, and banana. Smoke, Caramel, and earthy yeast was also detected. Flavour in the mouth was great, although quite light bodied, Rich fruit, including cherry and strawberry, A great grainy, toastiness, alcohol warmth and spice with a little woodyness. a long, lingering cherry finish, wonderfully complex beer.

Bottle. Very pretty pour with a foamy beige head. The nose is very strong of plum and bread dough. The taste up front is very sharp with CO2. Notes of rum, raisin, bread, clove, and brown sugar come through. The finish is noce and clean. Overall this is quite good, but just a little thin. If they made this just a little stronger, this would be a homerun!

Prune juice pour with a cloudy haze. Head of maltball innards, well laced and tightly packed. Nose hinted around a almost "mint-like" chocolate with mild hops and a malty overlay. Taste followed, but impacted with some dope dark fruits here. This thing needs to be pumped up a bit more and would be exception. Ah shimmy, the 8% Alc is kicking in and the valium seems to be warming up. booya. On to das tripple ja? Igen? Nem? koszonom kerek:) raw almonds accompany this well. viszlat

Bottle. Beautiful deep amber color with a creamy generous head that lasted forever. Definite caramel or candy (not sure ???) in the flavour. Some roasted malt. Pleasant and smooth. Thick rich taste that finishes just right. I really enjoyed the aftertaste . I really like this one. It’s superb. 4

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2006 Served in a gold rimmed glass, this beer had a dark golden color with a very good head. It smelled delicious and was every bit so. Lacing was fantastic to the finish as was the taste. For a belgian strong, this was a good one.

I didn’t like it the first time I tried it. I think it must have just not been the kind of beer I wanted that day. I have tried it since, and I like it. It’s a real sipper, enjoyed in small parcels on the toungue.

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.
