4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2010 Bottle. Cloudy and opaque brown color with a beige head that stays. The smell is very nice: fruity with hops and malts. Very well balanced taste from start to finish... complex but mellow. Excellent beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
It poured out a very dark brown color. It was very opaque and it had a slight residue floating around. It also had a nice, frothy, cappuccino-like head. It smelled a little sweet and there was a nice bouquet of hops as well. It tasted a little sweet but it also had a nice, full malt flavor. Also, it seemed a little bitter, which surprised me (these types of beers tend not to be bitter). It seemed very smooth and it had a nice, warming feeling as you drank it. It also seemed a bit carbonated, also a little strange for this beer.

There is a lot of stuff going on with this beer: it is flowery, fruity, a good mixture of malts. The taste is even better. I can pick out banana, raisins, chocolate, plums, and other dark fruits. This is a very good beer and also a good step up from the Chimay line.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Inviting hazy, red ochre colored pour with a creamy light brown head lasting through the drink. Aroma is white port, toasted, peach, bubble gum, band aid. It is moderately sweet and acidic. Medium to full bodied. Syrupy texture with a lively carbonation. The finish is alcoholic.
Not bad but a bit too sweet for my taste.

bottle - poured chocolatey- brown with a 2 finger frothy head. spicy aroma with a light hint of chocolate and yeast. Full body with a chocolate-raisin, plum, caramel flavor and a lighly bitter finish. Good, but I expected a bit more.

750 ml bottle. Dark brown with orange hue. Thin beige head that totally disappears quickly. Aroma is pungent almost sour fruit taste, malty with light chocolate sweetness. Flavor is also lightly chocolate but predominately fruit, yeast, hoppy bitterness (specifically in finish), and caramel.

Not a bad dubbel. It has a nice maltyness to the flavor. The aroma was not as strong as I would have liked. It has a good head. Not a great beer, but okay.
