Hints of caramel and dark bread in the aroma. Large creamy off white head that has good lacing and lasting longevity. Dark amber brown color. Lightly acidic with average duration. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Slightly astringent.

Oh what a beauty. The nose is enticing and fruity. The flavor is a very deep, pleasant caramel maltiness, not overly sweet, but just nice, silky smooth.

330 ml bottle. Ugly murky brown color, creamy tan head. Sweet malt and raisin aroma. Nice bitter flavor with plenty of dark malts and a touch of yeast. Pretty heavy carbonation. Quality product, if not a personal favorite.

A dubbel with a good carmel brune sweetness that fades to a nice finish. Good but not my favorite brown ale.

Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Sweet plum/raisin aroma. Spicy fruity flavor with wonderful abbey yeast compliments. Very smooth body. Left me wanting another.

bottle BB 1/23/10... ruby brown pour is opaque from the yeast skittering down the glass. tan head is soapy and soft with some drippy lacing left behind. super malty aroma is packed with fruit especially raisins and warming spices. the flavor reminds me of raisin brioche dusted with cinnamon and clove sugar... fruity, bready, really malty with a straw-like finish yet dry and slightly bitter. nothing really jumps out at me but i could session this... medium body with a slick smooth mouth feel...

Pours murky brown with slight red tint. Aroma is sweet of caramel and plum, with lots of citrus zest. Flavor is sweet, but not unbalanced- bitter but not astringent. Lots of dark fruit and caramel coming out from the malt with good depth and excellent character. Palate is smooth, having lots of carbonation but great body.
