Jan 3, 2010 ANOTHER great beer from St. Bernadus!!
hazy brown in color - fruity/malty aroma - really enjoyed the taste on this - a little toned down from the other beers; very smooth; no alcohol taste and carbonation/spiciness on the backend..

Dec 28, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep dark brown pour with thin off-white head and soapy lacing. Dark fruits, roasted malts and yeast in the aroma. Tastes of caramel, bread and raisins. Dry earthy finish with a lot of spices mixed in.

Dec 26, 2009 11 1/5 ounce bottle. Pours a soupy brown with a small yellowish head. Aroma is generally malty with Belgian yeast; the same aroma as the Abt but smaller. Flavor has a good malty body, with light molasses/maple/brown sugar elements. Good carbonation, thicker viscosity. Basically a smaller sibling to the Prior and Abt, but easy to identify as being in the same lineage - there is no doubt that this is in the Bernie family in other words. Quite enjoyable, despite its reservedness relative to its bigger siblings. Overall, very good.

Dec 26, 2009 330mL Bottle. Rated blind. Third out of a set of 12 Abbey Dubbels. Apple-forward yeast and a
bit of pils malt sugar. Quiet. Pours a brilliant, hazy blood-orange red,
with a lacy, sheeting off-white head. Flavor is odd. Oxidized pilsner
malt, sulfur, more minerals, and aged green apple skins. Very slightly
solvent-like, which is unappealing. Kind of thin and alcohol forward. I
wish I was digging this, because it’s ultra-dry, yeast-complex, fruity,
peppery, and well carbonated, but somehow I’m yearning for darker malts,
more complimenting yeast and less conflicting minerals. GUESS: Westmalle or Ommegang

Dec 25, 2009 330 poured into St. Bernardus trappist glass. Finger head, brown-red almost coffe appearance. Smell is very delicate and subtle of zesty spices and citrus. Taste is slightly bitter, with a bit of hops and sweetness. Once again very delicate. High carbonation, dances on the tongue.

Dec 22, 2009 medium brown with mild/moderate white head. not the most aromatic brew, but some notes of esters. moderate to high carbonation for the style. some bitterness right off the bat, more than usual for a belgian. some candi sugar sweetness with some esters coming through then the alcohol, which adds some complexity, but also a little heat, before a bone dry finish. solid dubbel

Dec 21, 2009 330 mL bottle. Pours brown red with an off-white head. Aroma is apple and molasses, caramel, touches of dark fruit and mustiness. Flavor is of molasses with some green apple and a slight mustiness. A little thinner than I’d like.
