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.

Mar 31, 2008 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)

Mar 22, 2008 Updated: Jan 18, 200933cl bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a dark brown, almost black color with a suprisingly small light-brown head that vanished fast in the glass. The aroma is sweet with notes of bananas, raisins, and hints of sugar. The flavor is fruity with notes of bananas, apples, raisins, yeast and malts. The aftertaste is quite short.

Mar 8, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Clear(ish) red pour with a thick round of head. Decent retention, nice hue, but no lace. Aroma of mashed-up cherries and baby powder. Flavors are largely cherry but with a solid malt backbone and an off-dry, tart, slightly hoppy, overipe fruit finish. It’s at least semi-filtered so none of the thickness or depth that might make it marvelous but is still a decent drinkable Dutch dubbel.
vintage version from around 1999 or 2000, aged about 8 years has a nice sweetness...
