pours purplish brown with a lasting white head and a very small amount of lacing. aroma is fruity but has notes of coffee beans. there is also some port and candy sugar. taste is earthy but sweet with notes of red wine, raspberry, and wood. finish is woody. a fine dubble but I’m not sure if it’s one of the best in the world as it’s overall rank would suggest.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 kubilai (111) - , Quebec, CANADA - DEC 12, 2011
A reddish brown body comes out topped by a light beige cloudy head that last. Dense beverage combining chocolate, yeast and banana aromas. Malty start with fruity and yeasty hints. Watery middle taste with spicy and hoppy finish. Fair bitterness. Sparkling. A bit disappointing. Was hopping for a more finished and complex product. Something more racy. We’re very far from Rochefort delightful ale..
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 sinte (171) - udine, ITALY - DEC 12, 2011
On tap in a pub in Aarhus.
Brown body with reddish hues; medium tan head, mostly lasting with a good lacing.
Very complex aroma with notes of malt (caramel, bread), dark fruits (plums?), raisin and spices.
Moderate-to-heavy sweet flavour partly balanced by a moderate bitter note; maybe a light sour character is also present.
Medium body with a creamy texture; soft carbonation.
Excellent!
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 Pershing (273) - Garland, Texas, USA - DEC 10, 2011
Pours Medium Brown in the Brewery’s Trappist glass with a short lasting tan head. Aroma of Spice with a smooth well balanced texture on the palate also of spice with a little hop bitterness. Not too feeling and well crafted. Dry lasting finish. Might be the best Dubbel ever created.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 TheCametron (471) - SCOTLAND - DEC 3, 2011
Bottle. Muddy brown with white head. Fruity and belgian and whathaveyou. I think this suffered from having been preceeded by the Rochefort range. Still good though.
