One of my favorites. I prefer less malt, but still love it. I can taste a distinct hop character, almost like an oatmeal cookie, though not that yeasty. Wonderful blackish/blue swirls mix with a deep red color.

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

Aug 26, 2008 A little hazy ruby/brown colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma of yeast and malts with some dark fruits. The taste of sweet caramel, with cherry fruits. A smooth and little thin beer. It’s not a bad beer at all.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark orange with a beige head. Aroma is fruity and yeasty. Flavor has apple, spice, and yeast. Nice.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle, as Koningshoeven Dubbel. Pours a reddish brown, with a thin tan head. Faint aroma of sweet fruit. Flavor is brown sugar, toffee, dark fruits, and a bit of yeasty tanginess. Delicious. A phenomenal Abbey Dubbel; I find its lukewarm rating to be quite puzzling.
