Lovely rich colouring - hints of ruby in the chestnut mahogany. Tan head, which hangs around and helps with the aromas. Stunning looker. Very mild alcohol on the nose, which is overtaken by the spices and fruits. Raisins, figs, caramel, vanilla. Play with this on the tongue a little and you can coax out a bit of banana, grapes. A veritable fruit salad! A nice malty sweetness and paired bitterness on the clean palate which is hard to fault. A beer THIS easy to drink and delicious should probably be illegal. Fab!
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, poured into trappist glass. Pours a beautiful dark mahogany with red, russet, and purplish highlights. Big tan head, very rocky, with tight carbonation. Nose is out of this world: first raisins, ripe plum and apricot, a bit of caramel and brown sugar. Brandy-soaked figs, Belgian yeast, a bit of cognac as it warms. Taste is slightly mellower, with more raisin, actual grape, hints of earthiness and an effervescent mouthfeel. I’ve had quads that aren’t as flavorful as this.

Dubbel Down! OR Dubbel Up. So pleasant and enjoyable. At 7%, a mid morning beer!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
One of the 7 trappist beers pours drak with a big throwfy head. It has a bitter taste with a hint of space and a very clean palate.

Brown colour with with small off-white head. Malty and fruity aroma. Fine dark and roasted taste with fruity notes.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle pour, 2 inch beige head disipated in 3 minutes. Reddish brown, opaque in tulip glass. Crisp carbonation, dry plumlike flavor masked at first as I served it too cold. Aroma of yeast, cherries and plum, suggests it would be too sweet but the carbonation and mild hoppiness balances nicely. Complexity grows as it warms. Not my favorite but truly a very good dubbel.
