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)

Sep 7, 2008 Stone bottle. Clear dark red-brown colour with almost no head. Ripe fruits aroma. Also fruits - maily raisins in taste - rather sweet. A bit alcoholic bitter aftertaste. Low carbonation.

Sep 3, 2008 (Draught at Old Bank, Turku, on 2008-08-29) Dark reddish brown. Clear. Hardly any head. Light malty nose. Full bodied palate with little carbonation. Chocolate, bitterness, fruitiness and slighty berry like flavours in taste.

Aug 29, 2008 500mL Bottle. Pours a red beer with a fast disappearing head. Aroma of spices, with yeast and malt. Sweet beer though most Dubbels are. Tastes similar to its aroma. Cherry-Fruit flavours evident. This Dubbel seemed lacking flavour and was short finishing compared to others. Perhaps I was too wow’ed with the bottle and expected more. Very drinkable though.

Aug 26, 2008 Like all trappist beers; this one is very flavourful and well balanced. Darker fruits (prunes, raisins), roasted malts, caramel, coffee. Finish is a tad bitter. Excellent
