Nice malty aroma, sediment filled pour - looks like a wax candle with suspended specks in it -but once the sediment settles a lot of the flavor is lost.
Alcohol a bit evident, but not overpowering. Kind of a roasted almond flavor - also detect raisins - when the settlement is floating - but after that - rather a bland alcohol flavor.
Not the best Belgian - no wonder they have a cartoon monk on the label - looks
like he belongs on a Scooby Doo cartoon - they just removed the hood and found out that he was haunting the brewery all these years because Anheuser Busch
wanted to buy it - he was scaring away the Busch family! Way to go Shaggy!

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Dark mahogany, tan fizzy head with reasonable staying power but no lacing. Thin, fizzy mouthfeel. Ginger ale, cola and generic pop-like aroma. Equally thin and flavorless body lacking texture or nuance. Mainly fizzy and malty.

Jul 27, 2008 33cl bottle with a 3/28/2008 drink by date. Heylissum brune pours clear brown with a tight head. Mild aroma of dark raisons and caramel. Medium body. Nice flavor is dark raisons, rootbeer spices and is fairly sweet but not overly so. Enjoyable aged dubbel.

Jul 23, 2008 Bright chestnut brown colour. Thin head. The aroma shows brown sugar, a sort of toasted caramel note. Fizzy and fairly thin but with decent caramel and brown sugar notes. Simple though, without fruitiness and with hardly any finish.

Jun 30, 2008 Chestnut body, highly carbonated, with a too thick poofy tan-brown head. Pleasant wafts of farmhouse and light caramel rounded out by sourness. The flavor is of light caramel with some woodiness. Dryish finish. Perhaps some oxidated cardboardiness.
