| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 7, 2008 Pours a deep amber orange with a thin, off white dissapating head. Sweet aroma with alcohol, spicy (nutmeg and clove), and dried fruit. Notice the palate first, coating and sweet along with a long warming aftertaste. Taste of fruit dominates: figs and raisins. Some burnt caramel, deeply spiced. Nice complex Dubbel. tturner (105), , Washington, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Great dubbel. I can’t spell raisins correctly, so I’m not going to mention them during this review. Pours a deep nut brown. Aroma of nuts, dark fruits, and a touch of sourness. Flavor has the dark fruits, with a dry, slightly sour finish. Very good. daknole (2891), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 15, 2008 Bottle. cloudy brown pour with a small tan head. Aroma is big, full of fruit, honey, yeast and smells pretty sweet. Flavor is very nice, but it is a bit hot. And I have had this bottle for awhile. I taste lots of dried fruit, yeast, caramel and the alcohol. Good, but there are a lot better dubbels to find. timfoolery (484), California, USA

I liked the dark fruits and slight sweetness, but it wasn’t as full-bodied as I would have liked or expected. Still, it was good. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
