| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with an off-white head that lasts and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma isn’t very strong but does contain brown sugar, sweet malt and dark chocolate. Flavour is fairly similar but the chocolate is more milky than cocoa and there is a bit more spice without the whole being too sweet. Overall not a good representation of a dubbel but a fine beer in itself and more than appealing to my palate.
