(Bottled, re-rate, was 6-5-7-4-15=3.7) Very beautiful dark, clear and deep red color (when light shining through) with a mostly diminishing, clearly tanned head. Sweetish, roasted-malty, slightly stuffy aroma with a hint of vanilla and maybe metal. Sweetish, roasted-malty, cardboardy and dull flavor with brown syrup. Sweet, oily and sticky finish. Medium-bodied, quite thin and foamy-carbonated, syrupy palate. Not nearly as good as I remembered it - or maybe it’s gone worse. Something between a roasty Belgian stout and an amber ale. A quite boring dubbel with all the character removed.

does not count  Aug 21, 2008 This beer has a very strong aroma. The appearance is a bit hazy and the taste is pretty decent.

Aug 21, 2008 This is an ok brune. It is way to sweet for me and there is next to no hop flavor. The sweetness adds to it’s drinkability but I think they should focus more on bringing some other flavors out. St. Feuillien Brune is alot better.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy brown beer, off-white head. Aroma of malts, milk chocolate, fruits. Flavour is soft and rather sweet, malty and yeasty, dark fruits, just a little sourness. Very nice and soft dubbel.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap at Belmont Station in PDX--Poured a dark brown body with a thick beige-tan head. Roasty nutty coffee chocolate nose. Malty, subtle, spicy, aromatic, delicious beer worth a try. Yum!

Aug 14, 2008 Pours a gfreat dark-brown color with a beige foamy head. Aroma of roasted malt added with coffee, chocolate and spices. Malty taste but does not deliver what aroma promises. A good beer after all.
