Pours dark ruby red with a thick foamy mediumsized head. Quite carbonated and slightly tangy mouthfeel at first but smoothens a lot during the drinking turning to be almost creamy. Sweet, malty aroma with flowery, spicy notes having hints of yeast, raisins and pepper. Roasty aftertaste, has brown sugar and spices. Leaves dryish, a bit leathery mouthfeel. An enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy brown/red color with a lot of tan head. Berry aroma and yeasty, Taste is similar with a slight metalic finishing taste.

Pretty good. The bottle I had was none too spectacular however. Just a good, full-bodied dubbel, nothing you couldn’t find in a regular old Duvel though.

Hazy dark red colour with plenty of lathing tan head. Red fruits or berries in aroma, some metal. Taste is pretty much similar, a bit high on alcohol taste and high acidity.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink Trappist, yet complex, cloudy, nearly no head, good brew

On tap at Cafe Trappisten, Westmalle. A beautifull dark brown beer is poured in the Westmalle trappist glass. Thick beige head. Dark fruits and chocolate in the aroma. Hints of yeast. Flavour is dark fruits, bread, prunes and a good malty sweetness.
