330 ml bottle poured into a Duvel glass. pours a murky brown with an audible large beige head. smells of cinnamon, raisins, and fruity esters. a whole lot of raisin and caramel in the flavor as well as some brown sugar and light spice. full bodied and long lasting head. finishes pretty clean, just a tang of hop bitterness. not the best dubbel I have ever had but it is very solid.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a clear redish-brown color with a huge white head. I mean massive. Aroma is malts, caramel, with some raisins. A pretty solid abbey dubbel.

0.33 l bottle, 7 %. Ruby color with big fluffy head. Malty, caramelly and raisiny aroma with hint of roasted malt. Sweetish, malty, caramelly, raisiny and chocolatey flavor with some fruity esters. Fairly soft and creamy palate although very fizzy at the same time. Very clean tasting dubbel but somewhat unexciting. The typical dubbel flavors are here but they are tuned low.

Weak aroma of dirty cherries. Efferevescent brown with a thick tan head. Tastes of very sour cherries. Weak bark finish. Over carbonated, uncomplex, but tasty.

Beatiful brown coloring with a big foamy head. Flavor promises abit more than the beer delivers as it progresses. Has all the qualities of a classic abbey-dubbel but falls abit short on the finish, Overall a nice bear.

Pours a rubyt brown with a medium head. Plumy fruit aroma carries into the flavour. Very soft fruit flavours with no discernable alc presence. Very drinkable.

Pours reddish-brown (like the picture). Tastes "meaty". Overall, a nice hearty drink. The flavor starts off a bit watery, but picks up once the carbonation kicks in. Finishes with a little hop kick. The ABV is well-hid. One of the better ones I’ve tried from Van Steenberge.

bottle. Hazed ruby brown dubbel w/ very nice sweet fruity undertones. Classical & still complex.
