Rich red, tiny head. Nutty aroma. Refreshing woody and slightly nutty taste, but also some fruity notes too, and pleasant dark malts. Slight drying aspect too. Nutty finish. No hint of 7% at all. Skinnyviking (4187), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 8, 2008 High fluffy but lasting off-white head leaving nice curtains. Clear dark brown body. Sweet roasted barley malt aroma with caramel. Rather bitter caramel flavor with a good deal of carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste. NoiZe (1382), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands

Foamy crisp carbonation, even when rested. Licorice notes. Usual sort of unimaginative brown Belgian ale with a lot of candy sugar. It’s drinkable but it’s boring. Bang, bang, bang - these Dubbels are knocked out. Be nice if brewers played around with the style a little more. TorbenH (136), Frederikshavn, Denmark
