redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA May 26, 2007 Clean caramel aroma, with a little brown sugar, and a metalic smell. Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Rich roasted flavor with caramel malts, and molasses, clean yet roasted finish. An interesting change for a Dubbel. Not bad. SSSteve (2045), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 26, 2007 pours a very dark cloudy brown with a large light tan colored head. sweet caramel, nuts, grapes, and yeast in aroma. flavor has notes of caramel, nuts, and grapes. palate is very carbonated and medium-light bodied and keeping it from being great. somewhat bitter for a dubbel. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA May 25, 2007 Poured a dark ruby red almost brown with a white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, fruit, and alcohol. Taste was much of the same. Very sweet. Funknmilla (577), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA May 24, 2007 On tap at Monks Cafe...Dark brown body...brown frothy head...aroma is almost cab-like...caramel malt flavor..brown sugar...creamy with a slight hop bitterness, faint and blended just so ,"i like that!"...a bit of baking cocoa finish leaves you wanting more...alcohol is well disguised as well kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 24, 2007 Draft, at Monk’s Cafe. Pours a ruby/chestnyt color with a thick tan head. sweet malty aroma, with some fruity, almost vinous character. Complex flavor with sweet malt, cocoa, fruit, and alcohol. Really nice. jdhunt76 (56), Winter Springs, Florida, USA May 17, 2007 Bottle. The description on the label as a "flamy dark ale" is definitely accurate. Rich, smoky dark malt flavors back up the dark and crimson pour. Very interesting, very tasty, and not at all like other Abbey dubbels I have tasted. I will definitely try others from Urthel based on this one. oberabcbbsok (686), Hoboken, Belgium May 15, 2007 A real double. Tried it from bottle. A tasty not sweet rather bitter taste.
