Jan 12, 2007 Pours a dark brown with hints of red. Moderate head. Aroma of dark malts, pepper, spice, alcohol, and raisins. Flavor is sweet, with raisins, spices and malts. Very nice, smooth mouthfeel. Why isn’t this rated higher?

Jan 7, 2007 big corked bottle... this double is a little lighter and more carbonated than most. The flavors are all there... nutty, cloves, raisins... not bad, but the body should be much heavier. This went well with some pesto chicken and veggie pizza.

Jan 5, 2007 Had mixed luck with the dubbels on this trip but this baby shaped up ok. Dark vienna lager style in colour with a very thin head. Attractive nose and taste of earthy / fruity malts, just a fraction cooked, but carries across the tongue quite tightly. Medium strength finish. Medium weight style with plenty of friendly character.

Dec 26, 2006 330 mL bottle from LCBO gift pack. Translucent cinnamon brown with very little head - not very appealing-looking. Aroma of brown sugar, spice, and perhaps a little alcohol. Flavour is more restrained than expected, although it’s nicely balanced and has an appealing "feel" to it. Some malty sweetness, but there’s also a tart fruitiness, and a short hoppy finish. Much more subtle than their Blonde and Trippel.

Dec 16, 2006 Bottle. Strong molasses and brown sugar aroma. Cloudy dark brown color with moderate tan head. Sharp acidic taste up front with a light brown sugar and sour malt flavor. Nice beer but a bit on the rough side.

Dec 15, 2006 33cl bottle - pours reddish brown with a big, mountainous off-white head. Aroma of spiced dark fruit, cloves, some yeast. Quite nice. Unfortunately, there’s not as much going on in the flavour - some sour apples, a bit tart, and fairly sweet. Some sharpness. Mouthfeel is nice, effervescent and frothy. Fairly uncomplex, especially put next to Westmalle Dubbel or Chimay, etc. What’s there is nice, but needs more body as it’s a bit thin. Reminscent of some english pale ales. Good stuff, but far from the Holy Grail.

Dec 9, 2006 Nice murky brown potent looking appearance. Aroma is nice, but light. An average belgian abbey - which means it is still tasty and nice.
