Tortman18 (105) - Batavia, Illinois, USA - JUN 12, 2013
Pours a light brown/mahogany with 1 finger of off-white that dissipates quickly. Decent amount of lacing. Nose is a mix of caramel, malt, dark fruits and spice. A strong aroma, mainly plum, anise, ginger and a little bit of alcohol, hit you strong up front. Very pleasing. Mouth is very sweet up front. a decent amount of caramel, raisin, spices and a lot of malt. Has a moderately bitter finish that lingers a bit.

kwik-lime (904) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 11, 2013
Pours with a good head, although it doesn’t last too well. Sweetness, malt, cherries, sugar and alcohol. Really enjoyable beer from a great brewery.

bonkiedeaap (46) - Leerdam, NETHERLANDS - JUN 10, 2013
Bought a bottle at Bert’s Bierhuis. Aroma of toasted caramel and a fruit plate. Has a dark brown color and a light brown head, which stays a long time and is highly carbonated. Has a medium body, a balanced sweetness and some tones of walnuts, the aftertaste is quite long and has some light bitters. Afterall, a good Abbey Dubbel, but the prior 8 is just a little better.

R2k2 (122) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 26, 2013
Dark beer, that looks like whisky. Somewhat "old" aroma. I can’t find much in the taste. Only the aftertaste is slightly bitter and this remains for a while. Donker, whisky kleurig bier. Ietwat muffig aroma. Niet veel in de smaak te herkennen, alleen de nasmaak is bitter en blijft aardig hangen.

Very malty. Excellent Belgian but not hoppy whatsoever. Strong and smooth on the palate.

a_cross (360) - Poole, Dorset, ENGLAND - MAY 23, 2013
Cherrywood, large white head; aroma of effervescent fruits; dark fruit, bready malts, hops and a gentle sweetness combine to make this a well-balanced and really good dubbel.
