Hazy brown hue, with a frothy tan-colored head, with a rich sweet malty nose of caramelized malt, toasted malt, brown sugar, with notes of dark dried fruit, like dates, prunes, figs, with a chocolatey accent, reminiscent of a fruitcake. Follows through on a full-bodied palate with sweet toasted and caramel malt character, with a toffeish note, dried dark fruit flavors, from dates, prunes, with brown sugar, molasses, chocolate sweetness. Finishes on a sweet malty brandyish alcoholic note.

Jan 3, 2009 Medium brown color, very cloudy. Aroma is slightly spicy. A bit sweet and quite malty - you can tell this is a strong beer.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a muddy brown with sediment and carbonation floating about. Great aroma that is nutty, caramel and fruit like. Has a liquorice and roasted flavor. A hint of molasses. A fine Abbey Dubbel.

Nov 30, 2008 <b>In short: </b>By-the-book but superior fruity Belgian amber ale. Good stuff <br />
<b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml, about 1 year old<br />
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy redish-brown body topped by a medium beige head that quickly recedes to a ring of foam<br />
<b>In long: </b>Nose of earthy hops, wood and such along with the usual Belgian amber ale fruity esters. Taste is surprisingly nutty with lots of fresh and dried fruits. Finish is fruity with a hefty amount of woody hops. I really liked the overall nutty and woody feeling of the beer. Nothing new for the style but this is yet another way above average beer from St-Feuillein. These guys know how to brew beer. Which is a good thing since they are a brewery.
