| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Pours a clear caramel coloured body with a medium sized, ice cream like head that has a vanilla colour. Aromas of vanilla as well as syrup and toast. flavors of pancakes, earth and walnuts. The head leaves a very sticky lacing. a tastey beer, a tad on the sweet side for me. but very enjoyable. probstk (1037), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 7, 2008 330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cool in a tulip glass.
App.: Slightly reddish brown, decent greyish-tan head.
Aroma: Loads of yeast and fresh bread dough, some light spices and minty herbals, caramel and toffee, a bit of dark dried fruits,
Palate: Medium body and soft but present effervescence.
Flav.: Still plenty of yeasty and bread dough, the more spice raisins than the nose, a fair bit of toffee and treacle, light minty herbals, lightly nutty; almost a dirty yeast finish that isn’t very pleasant.
It is nice to have this in the LCBO and to find it on tap, though it isn’t my favourite Dubbel. kfl (71), Denmark

Pours a brown, cola-like body with a big, light-brown head that is mostly lasting. Malty aroma with hints of dark chocolate and brown sugar. Couldn’t find the caramel and fruity notes i would expect. Flavor is light bitter but ends in a light sweet tone. mojoharper (16), South Africa
