Sampled from bottle. Very malty smell. Dark brown in appearance, Holds a head well. Has a grainy sweetness instead of the expected Belgian sugars. Low carbonation contributes to a slightly thin mouthfeel.

Aug 29, 2008 330 ml bottle. Dark brown with an orange tint. Almost no head, but a bit of lace. Aroma: rich malt, chocolate and caramel, grains, dark fruit, Rich malty flavor, dry for a dubbel, good roasted action. Belgian yeast, dark fruits. Nice balance. Touch of citrus. A very good, somewhat stout-like dubbel. Well done. Quite complex. Doesn’t have that big yeasty Belgian taste, and probably not really sweet enough. Clean, slightly fruity finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Everything about this beer just seemed weak. Aroma was decent with light citrus coming through. Pour is a basic amber with an off white head. Watery and thin feeling citrus flavor that ended with a sharp bite.

Aug 19, 2008 (Bottle). Fruity aroma. Dark red with small off white head. Flavor is pleasant enough, with fruits and sugar, but nothing special in the Abbey Dubbel category. There are a great many better choices
