Aroma has dull fruity notes including strawberry; also a bit dirty. Taste is a bit grassy. Nice silky yet crisp mouthfeel, though kinda watery. Finishes pretty dry and crisp.

Bottle, pours deep dark brown mahogany with fine sediment. thick off-white head. I didn’t notice anything unusual in the aroma, typical dark fruits. The initial taste is crisp with a hint of green apple. Not what you would expect from such a dark beer. Dubbels can sometimes be misleading in that way. As I get into this beer i’m slightly disappointed with the lack of complex flavors and the dull, watery mouthfeel. This is a decent, subtle Dubbel.

Apr. 2007 - Beer poured burgundy/brown color, decent head, no lacing at all. Very wine-like aroma. The flavor on this one was much dryer and less sweet than typical dubbels. Subtle dried fruits, faint candied sugars...more earthy than most belgians. A bit overcarbonated, in my opinion, but I enjoyed this.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a tan head. Aromas of caramel, malts, and fruity sugars. Mild malt flavors with a bit of sweetness. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. I’m not a big fan of dubbels but this is one of the best I have tried.

Bottle. Dark red color with a decent beige head. Fruity aroma, hops and caramel come to mind. Good and refreshing carbonation. Hoppy flavor in the beginning but finishes off more malty. Even a ripe cherry flavor comes to mind. Not a very distinguishable palate but leaves nonetheless a good feeling about it.

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.
