33 cL bottle. Wonderful aroma of dark fruits. Something of raisin bread. Opaque, dark color with a tan head. Thin to medium bodied. Sort of a dark bread taste, with some stewed dark fruit; not prune though. It coats the mouth with dark flavors, but it is not burnt or sweet. Suggests an overaged cask of Bombardier - tending towards earth. Arguably some yeast along with the dark bread. The finish is relatively dry, suggests dark flavors, and it is simply wonderful. I don’t have an adequate vocabulary to describe the complexity. I’d like to suggest fruit cake, but that’s just too light and too bready. This is it’s own wonderful thing.

Too red. This is lousy. Actually its not too bad. Once again smells like hard candy. Tastes like rancid hard candy. The only difference between this and their tripel is this is darker, less carbonated, and slightly better

Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a large-ish tan head. Aroma and flavor are both mostly molasses (I think?), light fruits, slightly roasted malt, and hint of yeast. Not a bad dubbel, but not really among the best; could use more yeast and at least a hint of hops.

Dark maroon with explosive tan head. Aroma of peanuts and malt. Flavor of almonds, caramel and malt with a slight bitter finish.

Ruby-brown beer with a small lacing beige head. Nice aroma of fruits(plum and dried fruits), caramel, a hint of alcohol. Medium body, fine liqueric and fruity flavors with roasted tastes. But i expected more from a trappist dubbel...
