Hazy red-brown colour with okay off-white head. Very mild aromas of fruit and caramel. It is a bit vinious, based on caramel and with undertones of sweet red berries. A mild hoppy finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Bought a load of these and found that they were best left for the best part of a year before drinking. Fruity. Spicy. Dark browny reddish colour!! Easy on the tongue. This one has grown on me over the years.

Oct 4, 2008 Clear reddish dark brown with some biege head. Slightly spicey aroma. Medium body with lots of light fluffy carbonation.Flavour is dark malt with some com[plex spicey tastes. A little thin on the mid-taste with some bitterness in the finish. Overall pleasant, but not subtle.

does not count  Oct 4, 2008 My first rating... A very nice beer, one of the first belgain beers that I had to drink. In Co. Galway, strange that.
A fine beer none the less.

Oct 4, 2008 Nice de750 ml bottle. Nice aroma upon opening. Color is deep amber with some cloudiness from yeast. Aroma has a lot going on. I’m getting strong maltiness mixed in with some dark fruity esters such as raisin and/or dates. There are also some spicy phenols in the background, but not overpowering. Tastes very nicely balanced between malt, esters and spice. Very easy on the palate. Not as thick as expected. Overall, a top notch dubbel.

Oct 4, 2008 Dark brown pour with small quickly diminishing tan head. Light carbonation. Slightly syrupy texture. Caramel, and demerera lead to dates and a butterscotch finish. Slightly thin bodied. Go for Chimay Blue or Rochefort 8.
