| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Big dense creamy head when poured out. Soft armoa, somewhat spicey (pepper). Colour red-brown. Hints of caramel, coffee and walnuts, a bit of hops. Smooth long finish, a bit sweet but not widespread. Hopper (295), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 A dark brown beer with a small quickly disappearing head. The taste is dark fruit, almost like dark fermented fruit. You sure can taste the alcohol in this. kuphish (157), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours an average sized, frothy, off-white head. Amber-brown, murky body with chunky particulate. Malty aroma of fruit - fresh berries, pear, plum and cherry. Faint doughy yeast. Flavor is dominated by the malt profile - caramel and raisin. Yeast also makes its presence known - dough and some must. Fruity esters and light phenols of milled spice. Fairly light bodied with lively, prickly carbonation. Crisp finish with light, warming alcohol - avoids being boozy. Overall a fun, refreshing, delightful dubbel. I’ll be buying this again. DeanF (292), Paris, France
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Pours a beautiful dark red with brownish foamy head, nose of chocolates and molasses, some citrus and alcohol. Great taste of coffee, barley, burnt malts, dry and bitter finish. Really good. mcdav2154 (297), Germany

Sediment floating throughout the beer. Grapefruit and cocoa taste with the bite of hops and balsamic. The chocolate taste with citrus was refreshing.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Damn what a great Dubbel! I’m not sure why I waited so long to finally try this one but I’m glad I eventually did. The flavor is a nice balanced combo of sweet malts and dark fruits. Has a slight grape flavor that mixes very well with the malts. Pretty delicious brew. Sten (288), Westerlo, Belgium
