On tap at Roman’s Pub. Lasting fluffy off-white head. Dark ruby body. Has a fruity spice aroma... mostly peach, pear, and a bit of white wine. Carmelly peach rind taste, figgy, and a light pear finish. A touch of yeast and some resiny sweetness in the body. Pretty good, but the sweetness seems a little much at times.

From the bottle this pours a deep brown color with an explosive, soapy tan head. The head stays around for the drink, thickly coating the glass. The aroma is of caramel malts, dark fruits, and some spiciness. This is very soft in the mouth. The taste is yeastfully fruity atop a solid caramel malting. The alcohol, even at 8% abv, doesn’t really make its presence known until it gets into your system. This is a very smooth drink with a clean, quiet finish.

Not the best Belgian Dubbel I’ve ever had, but a pleasant experience nontheless. Worth a try.

Tongue coating thick sweetness. Not entirely unpleasant, but so unidimensional that I was tiring of it long before I finished.

Chestnut coloured with a slim off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, spices and raisins. Very nice balanced taste. Sweetish, malty chocolate and noticable alcohol. Nice foamy mouthfeel. Very drinkable good stuff.

750 ml bottle - Whole Foods. Austin, Tx. Pours a dark chestnut brown with a thick, fluffy khaki colored head, thick creamy lacing. Aroma has some whiffs of nuts, alcohol, brandy and ripe raisins. Flavor has some elements of chocolate, cherries, and dates. Just the right amount of carbonation. Alcohol hidden very well. Strong finish. A very drinkable and enjoyable Dubbel.
