| 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. SledgeJr (2962), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Updated: Jun 29, 2009In the bomber bottle from the Solana Beach Pizza Port. Pours a reddish brown with a very small to no head and copious large carbonation bubbles. The aroma was simply amazing i the tannins that made it smell quite like walking into a leather tack shop. The fun ends there. The body was too thin- watery in fact, the palate was harsh and too fizzy. There just was not a lot of memorable flavor here other than a very mild raisin fruitiness. A disappointment. JK (2961), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2007 A very good beer that I probably don’t appreciate enough because Pannepot Reserva preceded it. There is sweet malt in the aroma. Opaque brown appearance. Flavor has some fruit, including prunes and apple, as well as sweet malt. A thick beer, and very good in or out of its style. bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 28, 2006 Bottle. Ruby brown beer with a nice lt cocoa colored head. Brown sugar, figs, and plum in the aroma. Fruity (date, fig, plum, banana), yeasty, earthy, malty, candi sugar flavor. Lingering earthiness. Flavor fades a bit too quickly. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 22, 2007 Pours a murky brown color with a thin offwhite head. Nice aroma of leather, yeast and caramel, there’s a rich malt presence too. Good flavor of caramel, leather, caramel, there’s a luscious malt presence and there’s astringency in the finish. The body is full with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. skortila (2905), Bunnik, Netherlands

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 19, 2008 750mL bottle listed at 7% ABV. Pours with a rocky, off-white head covering a fizzy looking, hazy, dark amber-brown body. Aroma has raisins, figs, vanilla and some toasted malts. Taste is candied fruits, a rich body with light spiceyness, then yeastyness, finishing with a bit of smoke. A bit more carbonated than my liking, but so are many Dubbels in Belgium. The mouthfeel was water thin.
