Commercial Description:
Rare Vos is flemmish for "Sly Fox," and the name of one of Brussels’ great cafes. It has a sweetly fruity malt character and yeasty spiciness. A fine dose of yeast permits the beer to mature and mellow in the bottle.

Pours a reddish amber color with small head which retains through out. Aroma of malt and fruit. Taste is fruity and maybe some alcohol warmth. Could drink this all night.

Pours a hazy amber color with a rather flat miniature head. Definitely a nice crisp Belgian with sweet malts coupled with a nice crisp finish. This is a nice refreshing beer.

Draft, Rich amber pour, creamy head, spicey aroma. Light funk with sweet overtone. Nice Belgian with balanced flavors.

Pours a translucent copper with a profuse creamy tan head. The nose is very yeasty, Belgian all over, which I love. Sweet, funky, spicy, fruity all in the nose. The flavor is very yeasty, big Belgian flavor, fruity, raisin, earthy, has one tiny hole in the flavor. Very filling explosive carbonation. Full bubbles coat the mouth and expand to slide down the throat in a most exciting manner. A little underrated in my opinion.

The color was amber/yellow. The head was creamy, thin, and off-white. The aroma was belgian, sweet, and spicy. The flavor was sweet, spicy, belgian, and had a light earthyness. The palate was lively. The finish was warm.

Not a bad duubel as such, but still a tad run-of-the-mill really. Deserves another try though.

allegedly, this isnt a dubbel....but its a better dubbel then ommegang abbey ale which actually is classified as such! this has the ’sizzling’ mouthfeel that i find in the prior/pater by st. bernardus, as well as the deep red color echoed on its label. this is wonderful. dark fruits and raisins -- just what i expect from a solid dubbel. carbonation was so a-plenty that the cork came flying with zero coaxing besides removing the cage....then it took a flight across the living room completely on its own without ever having been disturbed. ommegang never seems to go wrong, this is further evidence.
