Dark ruby, big beige head that quickly subsides, slightly tart rich malt aroma and flavor, chocolate fiqs, tartness subsides into a fine mellow brew, if only summits could get this quality from their lines, a decent sized glass too

dark brown with ruby highlights, frothy off white head, light bitter dark malt aroma, uninspired dry dark malt flavor with a touch of chocolate, finally picks up a hint of fruit but it is offset by some bitterness in the finish, looses all of its character on draft

Oct 5, 2008 It poured dark brown with ruby highlights and tan fluffy head, settling quickly. Sort of a winey aroma with some burnt sugars and cherries. The flavor is slightly sweet and malty with a hint of roasted bitterness and the nice bready mouthfeel. I think it’s delicious and well balanced with subdued complexity. VERY drinkable. Cheers!

Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, raisins, prunes, dark bread and brown sugar. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, dark rye bread, raisins and a fairly dry, grainy finish. Not very bitter. Nice and well balanced dubbel.

does not count  Oct 2, 2008 A typical Belgian beer, good taste and aroma, but nothing special that makes you remember it.

Oct 1, 2008 Dark brown pour, large fluff of a white head. Some malt and sweet aromas, brown sugar. Taste doesn’t waver too far from the aromas. Sweet malt, brown sugar, raisin. A similar spiciness with a pumpkin ale. A little sticky and clean finishing. Not a fan of Abbey ales at all, but this one I don’t mind. Is not overloaded with fruit and carbonation.

Sep 30, 2008 Dark dark brown almost black and a thin fervent tan head disappears instantly. Yeasty spicy aromas. Lots of visible carbonation. Taste is very light bodied despite the color and not as good as I remember, fails to open up as it warms.
