Draught. Dark amber pour with thin cream head. Good lacing present. Aroma of belgian yeast, caramel and spices. Taste of fruits, maple and malts with a nice even finish.

Bottle. Dark raisin colour. Big bubbled in the medium-sized off-white head. Smoked aroma, some bbq flavours in there. Taste...well, mediocre Belgian.

Ruby colour, small off-white creamy head. Aroma is sweet, of butter and red fruits. Flavour is of chocolate, sweet caramel, butter and red fruits. Aftertaste is of sweet red fruits and malts. One-dimensional beer, but drinkable.

Pours a nice cherry color, slim tan head with residual lacing down the glass. Has a sweet fruity aroma, with some fruity flavors as well with a nice alcohol crispness.

Pretty middle of the road stuff for a real Belgian dubbel. Principal impressions were of sweet chocolate and prune juice and raisins.

[bottle] Pours a very clear ruby color. A short-lived tan head falls quickly, leaving some decent lacing. Very nice malt and sweet alcohol aroma. Plum, raisin and toffee flavors, along with some considerable alcohol warmth. Finishes with plenty of residual sweetness and some interesting fruity esters. Not the best Dubbel in the world, but a very nice addition to the weak NH bottle selection.

pours dark brown with light creamy head. not very complex or balanced. sweet up front and on the finish. tastes very similar to apple juice needs something to take it to the next level
