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.

Poured burgundy with a pretty good sized white head. My first impression was a metallic aroma which turned me off and lingered in the back of my head the entire beer. The flavor was carmelly, a lot of fruity esters, and some alcohol. This wasnt bad, but definitely not one of my favorite belgians.

Pours a really tan head and a dark reddish brown body. Strong fruity aroma with some burnt sugar thrown into the mix. Heavy thick and dark fruit taste. Has some notes of oak and there are a bunch of subtle hops. Spices and malts abound. The palate is a little syrupy and there is a sweet sugary finish, but not excessively so. Taste sticks to your mouth afterward. This was a really tasty dubbel.

Pours a very deep maroon with voluminous head that quickly dissipates, yet never disappears entirely. Current bottle has been aged approximately 9 months since purchase, due to the over-whelming spiciness of this brew fresh. Aroma is still of heavy spice, of dark fruit, belgian funk, as well as faint cherry tartness and licorice. Taste is very deep and much more well-balanced than when fresh. The effervescent carbonation really helps to scrub the palate from the heavy dubbel taste, which makes it even more satisfying. This time around was much better than previous experiences. For people who are not fond of heavy spicing, I would definitely recommend aging it awhile to let some of that drop out.

Pours a deep red with thin beige head. Aroma of cherries and yeast, almost smells like a cognac. Malt and fruit to start, finishes with a flat kind of sourness which sticks around. Medium carbonation, leaves a bit of stickiness to it. Solid beer
