| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 16, 2008 from bottle and tap from the brewery also aged in my cellar. Pours a beautiful caramel color with a thick long lasting head. Wonderful blend of alcohol, caramel, malty sweetness and the yeasty esters. Works very well in the cellar and improves until about 6 months old. Gradual degradation usually starts after about 9 months, but is still really good until about a year old. the 6 Month old versions are the best IMO garretjax (103), Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 16, 2008 A clear chestnut brown color with a coarse thin white head. Sweet malt scent of maple syrup and roasted malts and yeast. Medium to full bodied and somewhat high carbonation. Flavor of roasted malts, maybe a tinge of banana, and dark fruits. A unbalanced finish thats kind of vapid. robforbes (1099), Bremerton, Washington, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Thanks to my brother-in-law for getting this in KS. Nice brown pour with a finger thick head. Multiple flavors of light fruits and some spice aroma on the nose. The taste is similar with banana and spice coming through as well as a bit of maltiness. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Deep brown with flashes of red and a small head. Aromas of spicy fruits, bananas and yeast come through pretty strong. Soft malty base with a sugary sweetness and a complex fruit flavor. Quick, clean, roasted finish leaves a good taste behind. Seems to be slightly thin and more fizzy than usual for a dubbel, otherwise really good patrick767 (2033), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2008 tap at the brewery - Pours amber with an average head. It has a mild malt aroma with plenty of yeast. The malt flavor has mild caramel along with light hops and some yeastiness. I got a hint of spice as well. Lively on the palate and medium bodied, this dubbel is mild for the style and easy drinking.
