(Bottled) Dark brown color with smallish head. Very malty, slightly roasted, caramely aroma with lots of anise and some orange-peel and dried fruit. Quite sweetish-malty, strongly anisey and bitter flavor. Some coffee and a strong, roasted-malty, slightly spicy and bitter finish. Sugary-malty aftertaste. Medium-bodied, slicky smooth palate with medium carbonation. Alcohol well hidden. A strange, but quite pleasant attempt to combine sweet, anisey abbey dubbel with roasty stout. Some maturing probably wouldn’t hurt this one.

Aug 19, 2008 The aroma is light carmel and toasted malt. the look is a clear dark brown with a big cream head. the flavor roasted malt with a mild spicy orange. the beer coates your mouth a little and the carbonation is a little low.

Aug 17, 2008 Head is very small but deep, smells as fruits for me mostly cherry maybe apricot. The taste is quite sweet, the finish is long remains a yeast aroma, nice beer.

Aug 1, 2008 Buona birra della Binchoise presa in 3 all’Exultate; un po’ difficile da finire però eh... dovevo guidare e ne ho bevuta poca però ne ho già piene le palle.

Jul 23, 2008 33cl bottle. Good beer but not a great Belgian. Better than average but lacked real complex characteristics. Pours cloudy brown with a chocolate milk head. Pretty normal dubbel but maybe a little thin. Easy to drink and probably a good entry beer for trying the dubbel style.
