Nov 12, 2009 750 ml bottle, bottled in june 2009. Very complex and hard to fully describe taste... It is not sweet at first for sure, it is woody, leafy, fruity, slightly tongue-tingling and bitter, there is some distant tartness, yeast and some undistinct discreet spicyness. And a long finish. Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, better than I thought it would be! Legendary!

Nov 10, 2009 Very good Dubbel, I echo the comments below, not the best dubbel out there but a very good one. Like most strong ales I prefer mine a bit warm, it brings out more of the phenols and some of the dark-cherry and prunish flavors. Can pour a bit hazy with a hint of raisin. Serving temp can make all the difference in the world.

Nov 9, 2009 Great belgium beer. not the best. All the parts are in fine working order here. Ommegang Abby Ale would be a good beer to try this against.

Nov 7, 2009 Nice mix of caramel and dark fruits. Some spiciness in the aftertaste, but not as much as I was looking for. Drank this one at Gaslight brewpub in South Orange, NJ

Nov 7, 2009 Interesting 33 cl collared bottle yields a hazy, medium brown to dark amber ale and a large, rocky tan head with good lacing. Malty nose with a hint of pumpernickel bread. Well-balanced and dry from beginning to end with a fresh finish and a well-disguised, relatively high ABV. Mid-palate flavors of dark cherry, bourbon and raisin. Very, very good.

Nov 5, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy and opaque brown color with a beige head that stays. The smell is very nice: fruity with hops and malts. Very well balanced taste from start to finish... complex but mellow.
This is by far my favorite beer.

Nov 2, 2009 It poured out a very dark brown color. It was very opaque and it had a slight residue floating around. It also had a nice, frothy, cappuccino-like head. It smelled a little sweet and there was a nice bouquet of hops as well. It tasted a little sweet but it also had a nice, full malt flavor. Also, it seemed a little bitter, which surprised me (these types of beers tend not to be bitter). It seemed very smooth and it had a nice, warming feeling as you drank it. It also seemed a bit carbonated, also a little strange for this beer.

Oct 31, 2009 There is a lot of stuff going on with this beer: it is flowery, fruity, a good mixture of malts. The taste is even better. I can pick out banana, raisins, chocolate, plums, and other dark fruits. This is a very good beer and also a good step up from the Chimay line.
