diabel (1210), Aarschot, Belgium Mar 19, 2003 Spicy aroma. Dark brown colour. Brown head. Malt and spicy flavour. Also little sweet. weepingsuds (222), Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA Jun 14, 2005 Just poured this one out, unfortunately no trappist glass. This thing pours out with a massive full head lasting several minutes. Very nice clear mahogany color. Smells incredible like a faint rochefort 6, apple and spice. Taste is excellent a beautiful brown with hints of apple and excellent spices. Pretty well balanced. Comparative to a trappist. fiulijn (5880), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jun 16, 2002 Deep amber colour, generous and thick head, misty, turbulent perlage. Wonderful aroma, fresh, malty, porto wine notes, analogies with a barley wine aroma. Good malty body, less strong that the strength may suggest, good balance and good palate, not too much aromatic. aceofhearts (1373), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 10, 2006 Bottle. A testament to the maturity of this site is the fact that we have a beer named "Fagnes" and no one has made fun of it...jeez, TimE and I were laughing hysterically. Not that there’s anything wrong wit...yeah. The aroma has a nice woody and somewhat Christmas-y offering. The flavor is okay but it doesn’t quite live up to the great aroma, possibly in part because of the too-thin mouthfeel. Some maple notes, chocolate, faint nectarines; very sweet. A decent brew. Nate (2255), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 7, 2004 Malty rich sweet aroma, Belgian yeast, neutral fruits, some raisin. Dark brown red hazy with light tan lacing head. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet and malty, with light chocolate and toffee. No acidity. Segways into some light smooth bitterness that complements the sweetness. After is nutty dryness with toffee. Alcohol taste and some warming, too. A nice dubbel.
