COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

UPDATED: JUN 10, 2009 Aroma of belgian yeast, malt, vanilla. Pours cola colored with a thin head. Flavors of yeast, bannanas, cherries, sugar, a little alcohol. A nice dependable Belgian Dubbel. Not my favorite, but i always enjoy this brew.

My least favourite of the Belgian styles; not Ommegang’s strongest offering. A good choice for real beer if on tap with poor alternatives.

I thought this stuff was great. I had it in the bottle. It poured a dark amber, with a fluffy head. It had classic fruityness of a belgian, and was an overall great beer. Cheers!

Popped the cork on the 750ml bottle. Pours a hazy brown/amber and tops off with a abundance of head. Sweet aromas of spice finished with malt. Flavors of raisen in the sun in a pool of malt.

Thanks to my buddy Joe for the bomber. Pours a dark brown with a thick creamy tan head. Fruity apple, malty, Belgian yeast aroma. Smooth crisp malt taste with some hints of fruit, Belgian spice and yeast. Very good version of the style.

this abbey is sweet to smell and adequate on taste. it looks murky on its pour with a dark amber tint. it has a long lasting head on pour with a fruitastic aroma.

Bottle to Czech pils glass. Poured a clear, walnut color with ruby tones. The head was light tan, thick and foamy, with some good, clingy lacing. The aroma was malt with some ripe apple and spice notes. The flavor added to these some caramel, a tangy cider taste, and a touch of subtle dryness. A fine Dubbel.
