This is my Chimay Red upgrade. It’s dark and cloudy with a good head that fades fairly quickly. I was pretty impressed with the appearance...lots of cool floaties. The aroma is of dark fruits and roasty. Sweet on the tongue and pretty dry. A full-bodied dubbel. I’m a fan. But, then again, I like dubbel’s. ericandersnavy (1131), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Bottle 33. Dark amber beer quite cloudy with a small head. Smells of caramel and malt, bitterness at the finish. Hops part is very less. Yeast brings fruit smells like cassis or apple. The feeling is vey less alcoolic, nice belgian beer. mesperon (140), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Dark hazy copper/brown with huge rocky head. Candy sweet aroma. Fluffy carbonation and full maouthfeel. Sweet on the tongue to start, light roast and caramel, develops into citrussy hop bite, surprisingly dry finish, even though some caramel lingers, along with prickly pepper on top of tongue. Interesting spice notes from yeast and alcohol. Good, but more simple than I expected. daleharshman (202), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2009 11.2 ounce bottle from Total Wine in Tustin ($3.49). Pours a muddy brown with ruby tones and lots of floaties. The generous off-white head reduces to a steady layer composed of ultra-tiny bubbles. Nose is sweet bready malts, yeast, overripe plums and figs, and light spice. Much of the same in the semi-sweet flavor along with brown sugar and light alcohol. Nice carbonation but the finish is surprisingly not very sweet but dry with a light bitterness. A solid dubbel. Fratto (740), Arlington, Texas, USA

Roasted malts and brown sugar flavors. Aftertaste is good, but faint, I wanted it to last longer. Creamy feel. MadIndian (997), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
