Sep 17, 2007 Thanks to awaisanen for the trade. Pours a deep brown with some nice chestnut/ruby red highlights and a medium creamy light tan lacing head. Aroma of raisins, hard candy, banana, nuts, figs, citrus, floral, some caramel, light chocolate, Belgian spices and yeast...just a very nice complex Dubbel aroma. Flavor of yeast, chocolate malt, raisins and other dark fruits. Also picking up some caramel, toffee and nuts.

May 28, 2007 From a 1pt 9.4 l bottle. Brown rust pour with small light brown diminishing creamy head, not much lacing, smells like a hint of hazelnut, brown sugar and dried and candied fruits such as figs and raisons (just like the bottle description depicts,) light carbonation, creamy to syrupy texture, full body, initial brown sugar sweetness light spice and a bit of a nutty average lasting finish, but as it warmed the finish became alcoholic, however, this is not too strong of a brew. Although not a belian trappist it is almost on the level. I love Dubbels and this one is very much worth trying.

Apr 4, 2009 22oz bottle from greater Seattle area. I enjoyed this beer. translucent amber with tall foamy head. taste had fruit up front (pear?) and mild bitterness. sweetness was moderate compared to other beers in the abbey ale style. only con was that it was expensive compared to other top US brewers.

Jul 25, 2009 Dark copper/red/brown with an enormous head that took forever to settle, as if it were just testing my petience. Solid retention and very nice lacing. Dark fruits like raising, plums, and figs dominate the aroma, supported by candy sugar and yeast. Flavors are similar - a very pleasant sweetness with a certain fruit tartness and a spiciness characteristic of the style. Medium body, high level of carbonation, very smooth mouthfeel, and the sweetness of the aftertaste is accompanied by a wonderful warming alcohol presence. I really enjoyed this.
