| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 12, 2007 This one has been in storage for a while - the label reads best by 13/05/04. Its still good two and a half years after the supposed expiration date. Pours deep brown / bronze with a minimal tan head. The aroma has dark fruits, brown sugar and thick toasted malt that is musty and earthy. Medium / thick body that starts smooth and rich, but has a lot of carbonation on the finish despite its age. The taste starts with thick roasted caramel malt, brown sugar and dark fruits. The finish adds a bit of spice and a touch of sourness. This is a world class beer that ages very gracefully.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2004 This Dubbel poured a clear brown body with a huge off white head that was very creamy and long lasting with excellent Belgian Lace on the glass. The aroma is lightly malty with alcohol and a breadiness in the background. Slightly sweet with a short, acidic finish. A good Dubbel, but I couldn't rate it any higher than this.
