3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This was the first Belgian beer, that I truly liked. I had given up hope, but suddenly this came along, and I had a sip, another sip and then the entire bottle! The color is dark brown with a red hue, it has a nice, creamy head and the aroma has notes of roasted malt and dark fruit. The mouthfeel is nice and rather oily. The first impression of the flavour is sweetish, with notes of dark fruit, honey, roasted malt and a hint of nuts. While the nice drops leaves the tongue a nice citrussy notes comes along and stays all the way through the finish. It’s a very good beer to start with as the first step into the world of the trappists, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

had it on tap in Oldenzaal. Taste of burned malt, fruity (apple, raisin), yeasty. Complex like almost all trappist ales. A bit sweeter than when bottled.

UPDATED: AUG 18, 2003 This beer rocks.
The aroma is very complex and interesting. Lightly floral, moderately yeasty and heavy with malt. I found traces of honey, tawny port, dough and molasses.
Dark, hazy amber hue with a large, rocky khaki head. Good lacing and mostly lasting. Delicious ale. Lightly sweet and tart. Moderately bitter. Full bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel. A whisper of toffee. Fizzy. Long, dry finish. An excellent belgian ale.

330 ml Bottle conditioned ale. Dark reddy amber colour with creamy head. Still the Dubbel the others should aspire to. Natural spice flavour toasted barley and fruit (raisins). A pleasure to drink at any time.
