Bottle, some months old. Huge creamy, beige head, lightbrown body. Malty aroma of caramel, chocolat, wood, raisin, pear, apples. Spicy and sweet flavour of caramel, fruits, light metal, grapes, alcohol. Nice malty short finish.

Pours a hazy dark brown with a huge amount of froathy offwhite head. Looks delicious. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, and spicey but very weak. Flavor is very strange, starts sweet and figgish then switches to a weird hop-dark sugar fruit mix. overall, just par.

Dark brown with a thick rocky head. Aromas of belgian yeast and cloves. Nice malty flavour with some belgian spicyness. The one big drawback was that the carbonation seemed to die right off leaving the last half of the beer quite flat. Otherwise not bad.

Cloudy brown with a big but then flat off white head. Aroma is faintly malty and slightly alcoholic with a fizzy mouthfeel and sour taste, not what i was expecting of a Dubbel.

Pours a hazy medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty. Flavor is moderately sweet, alcoholic, roasty dark. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but this stuff sucked. Had it for a tasting with 4 friends and all of us agreed. Drain pour!
