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.

Bottle, 8.5%. Yeasty, slightly funky aroma. The flavour starts off very malty with some malt syrup, melassis. Ends on a citric note that lifts the beer a bit. Has a little cardboard to it, but it does not matter much.

On tap at Stone 12th, but I’ve tried this many times over the years. After learning about red beers, then Chimay red, I stumbled upon this and I like it better than Chimay Red. My standards are narrower now, but at one time this was one of my favorite beers. Tasting this after such a long delay, reminds me of why I liked it: Lots and lots of sweet long boil melanoidins and caramelization. I see this flavor also in many IPAs and a few English beers. I like it. Much better than Ommegedon yuckiness.

Bottle from Plano Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours an orange/red with beige head. Nice floral ,spicey, malty aroma aroma. Flavor is medium sweet, nice caramel, black licorice notes, spicy hops. Palate is medium mouth feel with champaign like qualities, carbonation wise. Over all, I enjoyed this.

Another solid brew from Ommegang! Pours a deep amber color with off-white head. Sweet, dark fruit aroma with candy yeast notes, Complex taste of fruit and candy. Sweet finish, that lingers for a while.

Very nice in appearance with a full tan head and the romantic reddish /brown color. Traditional smell of Dubbel including, caramel, malt and sweet candy. Complex enough to complement the yeast strains. Very well done.
