Pours very nice.....deep brown...almost black. with alot of carbination and a wonderful two finger head. Good aroma of belgian yeast and light spices and dark fruits. outstanding flavor. Light sweetness, subtle alcohol and dark fruit. I have had this on a few occasions and it it never lets me down!!!

Pours brown with hints of red. Off-white head with a roasted malt, bread, and chocolate aroma. Taste has roasted malts, chcolate, dark fruit, and some bread. Very nice dubbel.

Pours a dark brownish-red with light haze and frothy off-white head. Aroma is of black currant, belgian spices, yeast and other dark fruit. Taste is dark fruit with black currant, belgian spice, yeast and some candied sugar. Moderate carbonation and a slightly dry finish, it lacks a bit of complexity as it’s Trappist counterparts.

Pours a very dark brown-red, almost pitch black. Has a medium creamy off-white head that leaves gobs of lacing. Aroma is dark fruits, with some spiciness and bread. Taste is much the same, with a focus on the dark fruits and bread. The finish is very dry and slightly bitter.

Hazy brown, CO2, nutty, roasted malts, dark fruits, chocolate, bready, vanilla, spicey.

Celebrated a new job with a couple of these. Mmmmm. I love a good dubbel and to me this is one of the best. It pours a dark brown with a very nice head into a snifter. The aroma is nuts and fruit. The mouth is very full and a ton of wonderful, complex flavors float around at you. It can be specy at times, sweet at others, fruity but mostly balanced. I would say the body is slightly beyond medium. It has an outstanding finish that really sticks around.

Muddy brown with tan head, sweet honey aroma. Full mouth with complex spiciness. Alcohol shows through more than most.

330 ml bottle. Orval trappist chalice. Pours a dark, hazy brown with a generous, dark tan head. Excellent lacing. Aroma is chocolate, black cherries, raisins, alcohol, vanilla extract. But overall the aroma is fairly muted. Taste is very sweet- almost like Dr. Pepper or black cherry soda. Alcohol is nicely hidden. Light to medium bodied with some good carbonation. Aftertaste is sweet, chocolaty, and short lasting. Very nice and unique from the traditional dubbel.
