Sep 8, 2007 Poured a very deep red brown color with a small beige head. The aroma was mildly sweet with some dark fruit and tobacco. Some doughy notes. The flavor is a little eastery and earthy with chocolate on the tail. Light hoppy finish. Semi-dry with a medium body and some warmth in the throat.

Aug 13, 2007 The beer poured brown with notes of some spice and fruit. The palate showed the same spice and some of the more tree fruits on the finish. It had a nice long finish.

Jul 14, 2007 Draught @ the brewery: Malty aroma was a bit faint. Smelled of alcohol, wood, a little Belgian spices, medicine, and yeast. Poured a ruby-brown color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that lasted. Good lacing. Flavor was a little sweet. Malty, with notes of alcohol, coriander, nutmeg, toasting, earth, clove, and a hint of banana. Medium body. Dry, sticky texture. Dry finish. Overall, a solid Abbey Dubbel. Just not one of my favorite styles.

Jun 25, 2007 Draught at Royersford. Clear, ruby-brown body with a velvety beige head. Dark caramelized aroma with notes of bread crusts, cocoa, light rubbery clove-like phenols, and an element of cooked bananas. Moderately sweet flavor with some toasty edges and modest bitterness. Has some lingering raisin flavors, but not a great deal of depth otherwise. Still, this is a solid American dubbel overall.
