Apr 12, 2006 The cork on this one just about put my eye out. Poured a lovely clear garnet color with a big but not tight greenish tan head. Very mild aroma of malted milk balls, caramel, and fruit loops. Flavor mostly caramel with mild soy sauce and fruit loops. Astringent finish with a not quite pleasant sour bitterness.

Mar 27, 2006 I am gonna go out on a limb and say, right or wrong, for the price, Affligem is one of the best damn Belgium Abbey-styles there is.
Pours a ruby-caramel color with great puffed up cotton head.
The smell is heavy on malts with hints of lemon zest, white chocolate, and bitter toffee.
The taste is bold, with almost more balls than it has, at 7%, it tastes like it has more. It’s lighter than other dubbels but the taste is still well layered. Good malty cream finish, and for under 6 bucks!!?? Buck for buck, this is the iron hammer of Belgium beer.

Mar 25, 2006 Deep brown, almost ruby colored pour...tannish head. Sweet malt aroma, some spice too. Flavor is mosty sweet malts...coriander spice all around the edges. Somewhat dry toward the finish. Not too bad.

Mar 21, 2006 Brown to robin-red coloured, large but diminishing brown-off white head. Sweet malty aroma, grainy with some light roasted touches. Full body, little carbonation. Finish is creamy, little bitter with some sweet hints again. light roasted. Not bad, more an average abbey dubbel.

Mar 20, 2006 Bottle. Red to brown colored pour with a nice big head. This had a fruity aroma to it, plum and raisins. Had a long sweet finish to it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Mar 15, 2006 Purs dark amber with a nice off-white/brown head that sticks to the glass. Heating up the taste adds a bit more sweetness, but overall it’s a weirdly bitter belgian dubbel. The sweetness you expect in the aftertaste is not present, instead a harshness of alcohol prevails (not too much though)

Mar 15, 2006 Pours amber with a red hue and a decent sized creamy beige head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, belgian spices, alcohol, and yeast. Flavor is smooth, prunes, yeasty, citrus, spiced, with a hoppy bitter finish. Good brew.
