gmonroe10 (172), Netherlands Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a beautiful dark brown, with a brown tinted frothy head. Aroma is sweet caramel and just a little yeast, not as much fruit as other dubbels. Well carbonated and a creamy mouthfeel and smooth malt,slightly sweet and alcoholic. A pleasant slightly dry and hopped short finish. Joakgust (320), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 17, 2008 33 cl bottle - Hazy brown beer with a great head. Fruity aroma without as much dried fruits as most dubbels have. Instead a more pleasant mix of yeast and bananas. Flavorwise this beer feels more refined than the tripel. Smooth maltiness and banana esters mixed nicely with a dryish hoppy finish.
This is probably what the monks at westmalle prefer over the tripel. note666 (282), Eindhoven, Netherlands Jun 16, 2008 330 ml bottle. brown reddish colour. foamy creme head. nice spicey dark taste. foodtraveller (26), Belgium Jun 16, 2008 Beer that has a good start in the taste but that ends quickly. Rather weak and short. daniele (1642), Italy Jun 14, 2008 scura schiuma non abbondante piuttosto grossolana abbstanza persistente sentori fruttati sotto bosco non molto amaro leggero tostato molto fruttata aconley (9), Numazu, Japan does not count Jun 12, 2008 One of the most well balanced Belgium beers! Yet it has a rich complexity that comes through when this beer is served at the correct temperature. Jabswitch (206), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 11, 2008 Thick creamy tan head. Deep burgundy in appearance. Slightly fruity aroma- not overwhelming - in fact, it seemed rather faint. Smooth texture, low carbonation. Somewhat sweet and fruity but not overly so. A nice balance of fruit, bitterness and sweetnesss all in one. Very nice offering. ogreface (291), Budapest, Hungary Jun 11, 2008 Sötétvörös színű,élénk szénsavas nem túl "illatos" itóka.Gyümölcsös,rumos szilvás,mazsolás íz és keserédes utóíz.Nagyon jó!
