Commercial Description:
Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

Nice deep brown cloudy color. Has a sweeter scent with undertones of toffee, honey, and yeast. Nice flavor to this one. Malty with a little yeast and grain flavor. Punches a little bit of a bite in the end, but overall this is a descent brew.

750 ml- bold, dark fruit flavor with supporting slightly roasted malt- great ruby color- smooth at first, and then warm going down, especially as the beer came up to temp- big and full- a solid beer, if not one of my favorite styles.

Bottle. Pretty brown/amber color with a thick tan head and substantial lacing. Fruity sweet aroma, almost like plums. Spicy, dry fruit flavor with some plum and cherry notes. I don’t know much about Dubbels, but this is one delicious brew.

Aroma of belgian yeast, malt, vanilla. Pours cola colored with a thin head. Flavors of yeast, bannanas, cherries, sugar, a little alcohol. A nice dependable Belgian Dubbel. Not my favorite, but i always enjoy this brew.

My least favourite of the Belgian styles; not Ommegang’s strongest offering. A good choice for real beer if on tap with poor alternatives.

I thought this stuff was great. I had it in the bottle. It poured a dark amber, with a fluffy head. It had classic fruityness of a belgian, and was an overall great beer. Cheers!
