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.

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.

Beer that has a good start in the taste but that ends quickly. Rather weak and short.

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.

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.
