4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
12oz bottle poured a medium-dark cloudy brown with thick, frothy head that laces nicely. Smells malty and strong, though muted by it’s thick, persistent head. Sharp, thin-medium warming, body. Maybe some very subtle fruity hops, zero bitterness with tons of thick, chocolatey malts. Mild aftertaste with very light alcohol and very crisp finish. Goes down smooth. About halfway through the glass there’s a distinct caramel sweetness in the nose that begins to come out in the finish. Tough to taste the 8.5% ABV but certainly notice it in the head on an empty stomach, eat something first! Seems like it should be overpowering, but a great experience. Highly recommended!

Bomber. Pours a honey brown with ample head. Fruity, with slightly floral aroma. Taste is a tangy citrus blend with slight alcohol warming. This a very good to great dubbel. If you see this at your liquor store, pick it up!

Ommegang is one of the best brewery outside of belgium beers, great taste, body, taste and aroma. Three philosophers beer is another from the brewer that i admire.

Maybe the best abbey ale brewed outside of Belgium. Deep amber, low carbonation, spicy (cloves present). 9/1/2008

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2011 Deep burgundy with a big off white head. The aroma is of dried fruit, yeast, candy sugar. Sparkling carbonation, with a sweet maltiness and complex yeast flavor. A good deal of dark fruits, chocolate, and a faint alcohol throughout. The finish is nicely balanced with a slight bitterness. OK dubbel.

Bottle. Long time rating coming...fluffy eggshell head on a deep murky ruby brown. Toffee, candy sugar, sweet maltiness for the aroma. Very much the same for the flavor with some plums, dark sugar and fruits. Medium body with vibrant carbonation.
