Oct 1, 2006 Bottle form the SAQ, poured in a trappist glass. Pours a dark brown body with a medium beige head that doesn’t last long. Aroma is a mix of sweet malt, faisins, plums and caramel. Taste is malty and sweet with notes of dark fruits and cognac. Mouthfeel is too thin for the style, but this is a good to very good beer anyway.

Sep 20, 2006 On tap @ In De Wildeman, Amsterdam.
Pours clear plain brown, small beige head. Strong caramel aroma. Taste is caramel as well, moderately sweet with some yeast and spices. Minimal hopped, and a rather thin mouthfeel. Drinkable, oh yes, but I miss the complexity a trappist dubbel should have.

Sep 4, 2006 Not much smell in this one, pretty good for an belgian beer, some bitterness, fudge and the usually strong alcoholic taste

Aug 28, 2006 Bottle. Looks quite dark but in my Westmalle glass the foam seems to enjoy itself to the max. This is a beer with a delicate aroma of malt, roasted peanuts and cognac. The beer itself is wonderfully fluffy, with full flavours of tickling raisins in the beginning, turning towards port to finish with nuts, rum...mmm.... yummy. The aftertaste looses its bitterness after a few sips. There is something which quite doesn’t fit in this one, like the flavour attaching when you make homebrews with dirty equipment. But maybe its this bottle, and its not strong, but barely noticable. Fantastic stuff!
