Oct 2, 2009 This is a typical dark brown dubbel style beer with a decent beige head and a chocolate cherry aroma. The flavor is funky plum and toffee. I seem to remember this being a better beer in the pre-Heineken days.

Sep 25, 2009 Pretty ruby color with nice off-white head. Aroma is sweet buttery vanilla, but not overwhelming, a nice balance. Flavor and palate not as exciting. A bit too fizzy for an abbey ale and that fizz tends to overwhelm the flavor. Flavor is a bit flat after fizz is gone.

Sep 19, 2009 Sampled at YourDarklord’s tasting. Pours red amber with a retentive tan head. Berry like fruity aroma. Medium. Flavor is pretty much focused on sweet malts, in a fruit candy sort of way. One dimensional, but it works.

Sep 9, 2009 Bottle, 33cl. Pours appealing dark brown with russet hue, with a decent head that endured. Rounded aroma of mature fruit with yeast and malt undertones on the nose, and similar on the palate with more eveident sweetness. Medium mouthfeel, and a decent double overall.
