Bottled 750ml. Dark red brown with brown thick and fluffy head. gorgeous. Aroma is fruity, spiced, and alcoholic. Body is full and malty with lots of carbonation. Flavor is alcoholic with yeast bitter fruit and sweet caramels. Long bitter, dry finish. Complex finish

dark brown pour with a thick head foamy beige head. Has a strong sweet aroma with brown sugar most noticable. Has a rich malty flavor, with hints of licorice, prune, and raisin.

Brown pour with orange hilites. Tangy, nostril-filling aroma with strong floral and brandy notes. This is pretty hoppy and tangy for a double and, as others say, it is complex. Sweetness and bitterness are both prominent and do clash a little. There are dashes of sourness, juniper, molasses, and raisins, and some alcohol warmth coats the throat. There is almost too much going on at once. OAA has a slightly rough-hewn, earthy character. It reminds me a little of something Dogfish Head might do, but Ommegang is a New York State brewery owned by Duvel. An impressive and flavorful brew.

Doesn’t taste like other Belgian Stong Ales that I’ve had. Aftertaste is awkward.

75 cl bottle. Medium to dark brown with lots of red in it and a nice head that slowly turned into lace and remained throughout. Strong aroma of dark malts, chocolate, raisins, cherries, cookies, yeast. Very rich and complex. Flavor of dark malt, very rich and malty, with cherries, raisins, chocolate. Sweet but very well balanced and very complex. An excellent beer, as good as the best dubbels in Belgium.

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown, with a tan, solid head. Aroma of fruits, spice, and roasted malt. Full body and heavy finish. Great dubbel.
