Bottle. Dark blackish coloured beer with a strong head. The aroma is yeasty and malty, and the flavour is rich, malty and lightly bitter and spiced. Overall a reasonable beer.

[33cl bottle] Hazy, reddish amber colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet, slightly sugary and yeasty malty aroma with notes of candied fruits Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Yeasty, malt-accented, slightly toasted taste with ripe fruity notes. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter, also a bit short finish. Okay [20.I.09].

Bottle at home. Another wonderful Belgian Abbey Dubbel. How do they do it? Really smooth, with nutty taste. Great finish. Excellent.

Excellent beer. Need to let this one warm to room tempature to get the full flavor. Pours a reddish brown with an average light brown heard that quickly disappears. Great aroma of malts and spice. Smooth creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Great mix of malts and spice with a little bit of a dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with white head. Aroma is musty with a touch of yeast. Nice sweet Dubbel, with notes of raisins dates figs and plums.
