| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2007 Mike oberdorf brought this home. I wish I remembered to rate it earlier. I remember it being ok but nothing spectacular. In fact when I compare it to other dubbels like the Bell’s or Westmalle, it pales. However it was a nice treat. Light flavor, sort of sweet and a little spicy, and not as robust as the aforementioned beers. sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2006 rating 500. rich cherry wood color. opaque and thick-looking. aroma takes me straight back to belgium. super candi sugar aroma. fruit + figgy flavor. tiny tiny bit thin. a bit overcarbonated as well. actually a surprising amount of alcohol character for 7% but it complements it well.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Dark chestnut amber with thick tan head. Aroma is raisins, cherries, ginger, and other spices. Taste is the same with a rich and mildly vinous fruit component, and slight warming alcohol into the finish. Extra-high carbonation makes this drink a bit like a milkshake. $10/750ml blank (998), Washington, Washington DC, USA
