Poured a redish brown with a small tan head. Aroma of malt and fruit. Taste was slightly acidic, but had a nice balance of malt and hop. Main flavors were dark fruits. Contained a large amount of carbonation for the amount of head present. Not the best Trappist Ale I’ve had, but good.

Poured to a Westmalle Trappist glass in a Belgian restaurant. Initial flavor of raisins and plums, flavors ended with a slight bitterness and yeast. Great beer.

Dark brown, lightly tanned head. Nose is sweetly malty with dark fruits and spices. Flavor is dry and malty, some dates and earthy notes. Finishes dry with hop bitterness. Medium bodied with a bit too heavy, foamy carbonation, somehow hollow palate. But nicely dry for a dubbel. ( 8 4 8 4 16)
Re-rate: Candi sugar, pear, spices and rye in the aroma. Flavor is pretty much the same, some roastiness and cellar. Easy drinking dubbel, but nothing to dream about.

Date stamp of 18/12/08. The beer pours a dark brown color, reminiscent of root beer, with a frothy light brown head. The head soon drops leaving behind a thin ring. The aroma is very subtle and we struggled to come up with specifics. It’s mostly lightly sweet malt, with some faint dark fruit and a mild spice note. The taste is as easy on the palate as the aroma was on the nose. Malt and caramelized brown sugar come to mind. There’s a hint of cinnamon noted. The finish is dry and mildly bitter, with a lot of carbonation felt on the tongue.

Bottle 75 cl. Hazy brown body with a large dense beige head. Fruity notes in the nose. Sweet malt dominates the flavour and aftertaste.

Didn’t get much in the way of aroma, but I think I may have served it a bit too cold. This is a very nice trappist dubbel. I’ll be trying it again.
