axilla (942), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 4, 2004 Updated: Jul 17, 2005 Excellant looking cherry color brewskie. Sweet sugary nose...maybe molasses. Crazy flavor combinations going on here. I taste toffee, chocolate, carmel, and abit of vanilla. I dig this sweet juice.
v64 (58), Austin, Texas, USA Sep 4, 2008 Absolutely delicious. Very large tan head, pours hazy brown. Unique aroma, dark and fruity, like licorice and chocolate. Dark fruit flavor comes out in the taste, with a noticeable edge of hops. The alcohol blends in well also, but it’s noticeable. Great dubbel, one of the best I’ve tried. yumyum (55), barrie, Ontario, Canada Sep 2, 2008 really, really enjoyed this beer. I have considered chimay rouge my go to beer if I want a tasty beer that is also easy drinking. This is my new standard for a dubbel. I has a much richer colour than the chimay. I has more of a fruitiness both on the nose and the palate.. Carbonation is quite minimal which gives it a nice mouthfeel. I could drink this ofter. Very good beer. flatmatt (77), Northville, Michigan, USA Sep 1, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours crimson with a nice tan head. Aromas of dark fruit and tart apple and banana. Flavors are bready, yeasty, with elements of dark fruit and hops. Nice flavor, a little weak on the palate, but pretty good stuff. Rynoplasty (200), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Aug 30, 2008 Pours amber brown with a tan colored head. Big malty aroma with some yeasty notes as well. Very malty and delicious. A fine dubbel. Homebrewerguy (247), Oil City, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle: pours heady with good lacing and a nice light brown color, aroma is of roasted malts and some caramel, flavor is much lighter than an actual Belgian brewed Abbey ale, good clean beer though brewed for "American tastes"
