| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2008 On tap at the Portland Deschutes pub. Pours dark brown, red hues at the edges, small white head. Sweet malt nose with a nice spiciness to it. Caramel and dark cherry flavors to the malts, soft clove to the spices in the finish. I thought this turned out to be a really nice beer, my only thoughts were a bit more dryness in the finish would have helped. NoiZe (1372), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands

Brown/amber colored brew. Yeasty, malty aroma and flavor. Some spices and sugary flavor. Nice try for an abbey dubbel, but they’ve got to add the magic touch.. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2008 On tap at brewpub. Dark amber with thin head. Musty yeast and light sweet malt aroma. Mix of spice and roast that just doesn’t sit all that well. OK, but a test at best. fakepurseninja (785), Washington, USA

Classic, yeasty, earthy dubbel aromas of spices and dusty dark malts. The taste mirrors the aroma with dry malts and earthy yeast, with rootbeer sweet spices. Very nice beer here.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 8, 2008 On the X-tap at Deschutes in PDX--Served in a snifter, poured a dark amber-brownish body with a small wispy beige head. Fruity, nutty, malty sweet nose with spicy abbey flare and a chewy, gritty bite. This is perhaps the nicest example of a Belgian I have experienced at Deschutes. Similar to St. Bernardus Abt 12. great desert brew for that end of the evening enjoyment.
