Jan 30, 2008 Bottled. Deep ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, some ginger and other spices, fruits and yeast. Flavour is very much the same along with coffee and mild sugaryness. All the roasted/toasted notes are gone once the beer warms up a bit from being fridge cold. I liked it more when cold.

Jan 19, 2008 Dark coppery colored, little yellow head. Sour fruity aroma with strong yeasty note, mild berries and spices can be found there too, Medium bodied, crispy palate. Flavor is even more sour with this berry tone, still strong yeast here, chocolate comes up nicely. Aftertaste has again yeast dominating, some orange and spices also there. Good Belgian, still somehow disappointment.

Jan 5, 2008 Cherries and plums, oh my! 750 ml bottle. Solid, yeoman-like representative of the Abbey Dubbel style. Enjoyable, but not particularly noteworthy. Different from Chimay Red, but not necessarily better.
