Miksu (3887) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - AUG 5, 2006
Bottled. Reddish brown color. Malty aroma with nuts, toffee, toasted bread, smoke and some sourness. Malty, sweetish, bready and distinctively nutty flavor. Bread and acetic acid in the finish.

Sweet aroma of plum, raisin, coriander, flowers, yeast, alcohol. Dark brown colour, creamy beige head, particles. Medium bodied beer with a creamy texture, with a sweet flavour of plum, raisin, earth, berries, spices and a more malty finish.

Bottle from Capital Ale House. Brown and chunky when poured. Aroma was sweet, slightly fruity with a yeast twang to it. Goes down smooth, but taste is filled with dark fruits and a hint of caramel. I like dubbels, but this one had way too much of a wine taste to it.... Overall, it’s not bad, but I don’t think I’ll be drinking it again.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2007 Draft at zeno’s. Very nice aroma. Crisp smell with mild hops precense. Keeps a thin head with dark amber look. Flavor is very mild and smooth with a hint of currant/plum taste. Very good dubbel. Cheers! Update: Bottle. Dark brown with creamy head that is very smooth when sipping. Great taste of cherry with a slight currant falvor hiding in the after sip. I really enjoy this one and feel this is underrated.

bluevegie (2853) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUN 17, 2006
Browny amber body with a full size and lasting light tan head. Smooth taste that is a tad sweet and with fairly good characters of dark fruits, spice, liquorice and some burnt notes of caramel. Aroma was of chocolate and rich fruit.

Brown chunky pour. Yeasty and sweet yet smooth. Interesting and rather good. Brown in color, not offensive at all. Damn fine dubbel. Id buy this again, sure.

Sregnar35 (832) - Rotterdam, New York, USA - JUN 4, 2006
Pours dark brown with a huge rocky head. Aroma is very sweet smelling. Flavor is a bit yeasty, with tons of that sugar in the raw flavor, very very sweet and sugary.
