Well lookie here. I found me a "La Trappe" dubbel. My understanding is that the La Trappe is the old label of what is now the Koningshoeven line. Either way...onward!
Pours an extemely dark ruby brown with minimal head after a minute. The nose smells like my mother’s chocolate chip cookies. Touch of cherries. Sugar is there, but that is part of momma’s chocolate chip cookies. Malty subdued flavor that has a caramelized sugar edge to it. Seems to be lacjing something. Perhaps this bottle is beyond it’s life. Feel is thin to standard. Not all the way bubbly, but still seems to be missing something. Drinkable I guess. I am wondering if this bottle is too old.

Jan 4, 2009 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

Dec 30, 2008 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.

Dec 23, 2008 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...
