Dark brown coloured, some light carbonation with a large creamy brown head. Dark fruits, spicy, roasted malts are present in the aroma. Full body, some sprankling, hints of roasted malts. Finish is bitter-roasted, long ending, sharper at the end.

Bottle. Beauitiful mahogny red colour with a creamy mostly diminishing off-white head, fair lacing. Sweet quite fruity aroma with roasted malts, spices and dark caramel. Good fruitiness, caramel and good spices in the flavour along with some yeast and liquorice. Very tasty Abbey beer indeed!

Bottle at Eydes Kælder, Odense: Deep amber brown with fluffy browny/white head. Aroma of roasted malts - caramel. Fizzy texture/carbonation. Medium body. Sweetness & metallic notes. Easy drinkable. Very average Belgian dubbel!

[Bottle from BeersofEurope] Deep red colour, moderate head. Malty aroma, brown sugar and berry fruit, yeast character. Medium body, sweet finish.

My style of beer but a bit off the mark which left me not actually finishing the glass and couldnt put myself through it for breakfast.
