Nov 7, 2007 12 oz bottle: Small foam off white head that lingers and a cloudy almost opeque amber pour. Aroma is rather floral with dark fruit coming to the forefront and a nice malt characteristic. Wonderful scent! Taste is bready with the dark fruits coming out in this dubbel and malts. And quite liberally spiced as well. Palate is quite clean for with a lingering malt aftertaste that is quite good. Overall, I think this beer is definately good for a sipping brew. I would buy this again.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Apr 16, 20088/28/07 Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Orange/red color with small off-white head. Alc aroma with light fruit all very light. Slight dark fruit flavor, grapefruit and alc. Thin and watery. Not much goin on, too thin. 5/3/5/2/10 = 2.5
4/16/08 Rerate 12oz bottle from west lakeview liquors, chicago, thanks 17thfloor and davinci. Mirky red-brown with large creamy beige head. Aroma is sweet yeast, nuttiness, red apple, a little grapiness as well. Flavor is dirty roasted malt with red apple sweetness, a little chalky as well. Thin but creamy body. I’m not really digging on this beer again and percieving it to be out of style as well. Though I’m getting all the alc notes as the previous rating which is nice.

Oct 20, 2007 Weak grapefruit, apple core, and smoke aroma. Hazy tea colored, with a thin head. It tastes of horehound and dates with a light woodiness. The finish is vinous and leaves raisin and cumquat on the palate. Hops are detected at times but are subdued by other more powerful flavors. Nice mouthfeel. Fairly well done for fans of the style, but I don’t care for it.

Oct 15, 2007 750 mL bottle shared by NachlamSie. Pours cloudy brown with nice ivory head. The aroma is clovey with general yeastiness and some light chocolatey sweet notes. The flavor is clove and chocolate up front, with just a faint bit of banana afterwards. Some zest notes in the middle give it a surprising zing, then it finishes with mellow caramel, wood, and bread. Pretty tasty.
