Oct 1, 2006 330ml Bottle: Poured a rich mahogany with a thick foam head. Excellent head retention and lacing throughout on this one. A complex aroma rich in cherry, apple, and grape alongside sugar and roasted malts. The flavour is quite yeasty with great caramel malt flourishes and faint hops in the back. As it warms I noticed a strong port wine flavour with a touch of nuts in the aftertaste. One of the few abbey dubbel’s to lose intensity and flavour as it warms, but still a good brew.

Sep 30, 2006 Bottled. Malt, banana, raisin and cove in the aroma. Flavor is initially burnt malt, progreesing to fruit and bitterness. Mouthfeel is surprisingly thin. A little nice lasting bitterness. Overall a decent mass produced belgian ale and i like the roasted quality, but i probably prefer the blond.

Sep 27, 2006 Updated: Oct 31, 2006One of the first beers that open my eyes to what great beer could tast like. First go at a double at the time. Smooth, ritch and very drinkable, with a light/dark color and tast. A slight bit of burned caramel and a sweet ending.

Sep 25, 2006 Let me say right away that I prefer the maltyness of dubbels to the spiciness of tripels. The aroma & flavour were highly malty, so I liked it, even though slightly medicinal. Finish is a little sweet but that’s alright in my book too.

Sep 18, 2006 Bottle. Golden brown with mostly lasting beige head. Aroma offers plenty of malt (some of which burnt), and some bitterness. In the flavor these are supplemented with some sweet caramel and a little hint of espresso. Fairly long slightly bitter finish.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep deep read with an impressive beige head. Aroma is of yeast and chocolate. Taste had mild notes of chocolate, caramel, coffee, and spices, with very little bitterness. The palate is quite thin and moderately carbonated. A pretty unremarkable beer.
