Purchased as St. Idelsbald Dubbel. Served in a very unique vessel; a ceramic bowl law enough that it requires two hands. Not so great for everyday drinking, but good and a fun change. Tasted at Trollkelder, Ghent. Light malt and dry aroma. Brown and lots of foam. Some sugar in the flavor and light fruit. Better than some others from Huyghe, but the relabeling is annoying.

Oct 3, 2008 Brown colored brew. Aroma is wine, fruits.
Flavor is fruity, berries, cherries, wine, some sweetness some burned malts. Overall a bit too much fruits. Palate is not nice, sourness and alcoholic.

Sep 27, 2008 A dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head, and lots of fluffy sludge. A very nice sweet caramel with molasses, tobacco leafes and berries. Nice! In mouth, a nutty malt, fragrant, with loads of coriander, molasses, raisins. Rich and pungeant. Pleasantly surprised. Bieropholie import. BB April 2009.

Sep 11, 2008 330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Very dark red, healthy off-white head. Strawberry jam aroma, some raspberry too. Quite sour on the tongue - and with healthy carbonation. Curious taste - quite sour and metallic, but not nasty, and some alcohol too. Decent burnt edge, but lacking the fullness I look for in a dubbel.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle, bought @ brygshoppen.dk.
Pours deep, red-brown with a big, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is dried fruits, light chocolate, raisins and caramel. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is softly yeasty, finely roasted, sweet chocolate, great balance, raisins, plums. Nice.
