Reddish tinted dark brown beer; yellowish-brown head, dissipating. Liquorice, mint, thick green leaves, blackcurrant, rich malts. Sweet, malty and woody at the same time. Liquorice, and a particular kind of sweet I used to know, blackcurrant flavoured. Nice flavour, but very simple, missing depth and complexity. Medium bodied, bit slick. Long sweetish-perfumed aftertaste. OK beer, but too one-sided for a Trappist, that ought to mean excellence;

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
