11.2 fl oz bottle poured into a sniffer...Smells of malt and raisin ..Very Fluffy and bellowing tan head, Dark red and getting darker as you look towards the middle of the glass..The taste is hard to describe, But its very well balanced, with dark fruit flavors and never overwhelming..I could throw back a few of these no problem.

4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 DanVal2soon3 (6) - BELGIUM - NOV 13, 2011 does not count
A mesmerizing beer to the eyes. Deep red/brown color with a fluffy, creamy, slightly tan tinged/off white head. Lots of toast and raisons in the nose; complex spiciness. Medium creamy texture with a dry, balanced finish. Little to no hop character yet beautifully balanced and quite dry. Overall an outstanding beer--when I think of what a dubbel should be this is the beer that comes to mind.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 RumRunner101 (47) - British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 12, 2011
Aromas of raisins and brown sugar come through. The palate replicates the nose, very fruity, nicely sweet, little bit of hop presence. The alcohol comes through in a pleasant way with a slight nutty finish. Very nice.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 msojka (411) - New Jersey, USA - NOV 11, 2011
Bottle aged almost a year, purchased that way didnt realize until first sip. Pour is a cola brown with a small dissipating light khaki head. Nose is of some booze, and dark fruits for the most part. Taste was rather boozy for a double, which I chaulk up to a year in the bottle, almost has a wine like kick, though still very refreshing and the aging adds a nice level of intricacy.
