| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 4, 2007 Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy nut brown, average head. Caramelly nose. Sweet and fairly soft with medium body. Mild and spritzy, fruity and lightlyestery. So melon and metal shows up as well. Stays shy of being overpowering and cloying, and is instead mild and laid back. Somehow the flavour doesn’t really cover the whole mouth as in the best Belgian ales. hopscotch (5525), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2009 Bottle... Murky burnt orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Earthy, fruity, tangy aroma – notes of wood, chocolate, dark fruits and lactic acid. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and dancing carbonation. The flavor of this one is all about the acidity. Tart and tangy with a chocolaty undertone. Mild sweetness. A Flanders dubbel? Crisp, tangy, lightly dry finish. Kudos to giarcsr for shipping this bottle to Florida! whaleman (2171), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 7, 2007 Bottle from a case that was reportedly flat, but I managed to achieve carbonation with some TLC in my cellar. Amber-brown body with a medium, fading beige head. Sweet, peanutty malt aroma with cocoa and cooked banana notes. Evident caramelization in the flavor, plus an aspect of rubber tire. Warms nicely though. Develops into an understated, pleasing sipper. Good American Abbey Dubbel overall.
