Pours dark brown, opaque with an obnoxious amount of foam. Settles down to a 1 inch light tan head. Aroma of dull darker malts, grape and plum. Tastes like smooth rich malt, nuts, hops, and dark fruit sugars. A little burn going down. Mouthfeel is medium, and a little thick but not too much. It has a good bite. Finish is a little heavy.

Dark ruby with a dense head. Caramel, toffee, chocolate, and biscuits dominates this very nice dubbel. A very lively mouthfeel with a lot of tingling carbonation makes this one of the better dubbels I’ve tasted.

Bottle - 330ml. Pours a dark amber/brown hazy body with a thin off-white foamy head. its well balanced malty/hoppy aroma carries sweet and fruity hints. Taste hides the alcohol pretty well. Ends with a long bittersweet finish. Good Dubbel.

BOTTLE: Koningshoeven Dubbel, nice tan head. Floral aroma, slight lacing. Flavor is nice, not overly sweet, a hint of vanilla at the back of the tongue. Palate is not overwhelming, somewhat bubbly but short finish. Nice beer but clearly not one of the best trappists.

Bottle at Rhino, westend Toronto. Dark Brown with cream head. Fruity yeast aroma. Bubbly caramel taste, not as sweet or refined as Quad.

Bottle from Tesco. Dark brown, thin tan head. Candy sweet aroma of brown sugar and malts. Taste to match, with a touch of spice. Dusty finish of spice and alcohol. Odd waxy mouthfeel. Good, but there’s something amiss.

Dark, dark copper... less pear and apple, than the blonde, less oily as well. Much milder though, as both the Blonde and the Dubbel seem to lack "fizz" or bite as say an Orval or Chimay which I’ve been led to believe was a cousin. ANyhow, this beer was generally pleasant to drink, but I’m still struggling on what food I could pair this with properly. It has the taste of the apple between the skin and the tougher part, namely where it ripens first. Huge head when poured delicately, although dissipates quickly. (Bottle Pour 3/29/2008)

Dark brown beer, small head. Fruity, yeasty and a bit chocolaty aroma. Good sourrish and sweetish taste with raisins, figs and some chocolate. Bitterish finish, nicely balanced.
