| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2007 On tap at Stone. Dark brown with a creamy white head. Swweet sugar and dark fruit aroma. Taste of molassses, raisins, and brown sugar. Sticky palate. pichulo (3), Spain does not count | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2007 good dark abbey; send me by a friend of mine, need to drink it again to judge it better but the first impression was good. vyvvy (2043), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Pours deep bronze with a soapy tan head. The aroma has bready malt, molasses, anise and big time yeast. Full bodied with a very smooth lush feel along with a good amount of soft carbonation. The flavor starts with smooth caramel, sourdough, toffee, earthy yeast and then the finish brings in some sharpness and astringency. A decent dubbel, but not up to the great examples. doublebock (196), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Brown ruby red color that is hazy and yeast sediment floating. Aroma is yeasty. Bready flavor with smooth hopiness. Can barely taste the high alcohol content. imdownthepub (5143), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 10, 2007 Keg on tap at Au Vieul, Aubel, Belgium. Clouded brown with white head. Tart and sharp Abbey Dubbel with a late fruity sweetness, some berry fruit, we thought bilberries at the time for some reason. Another pretty unrefined beer, but decent enough in a pretty remarkable old pub, a must see. Bullit (1352), Glasgow, Scotland
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Brown colour, big frothy beige head. Aroma is raisins and raspberries. Taste is of raspberries and raisins as well, which makes it pleasantly sour. Lacks complexity to really stand out. Jerre (1755), Waregem, Belgium
