Aug 15, 2009 Pours hazy dark amber brown with a nice cream colored head. Aroma is caramel, dark fruits, toffee, and hints of candi sugar. Flavor is semisweet caramelized sugars and malts, with some nice dark fruit flavors. Very good.

Apr 4, 2009 I’m so busy fixing up my house this weekend that I fear I’ll not be able to drink any more beer till Monday. With this fear in the front of my mind I go to the cellar and pick the first thing I can justify opening that looks tasty at this moment. Westmalle Dubbel you win, let’s have at it. This of course pours wonderfully (into the proper Westmalle chalice I might add) with a big fluffy tan head and tons of solid lace. The color is a deep brown. Aroma is nutty, fruity and yeasty. Plenty of hints of cherry and some apple dominate the nose. I’ve been going through a phase where I’ve been bored with Dubbels as a style, one taste of this has ended that. Bravo Westmalle. Flavor is nice with a wonderful nuttiness and some great fruity notes. There is some molasses like sweetness but this bottle is not nearly as boozy as I remember it being. I think a couple of years on this one is a nice way to go. The mouth feel is very silky and just a pleasure to drink.

Jun 20, 2007 Bottle--aroma is heavily sweet, very strong raisin, maybe some plum. Appearance is a rich purple-brown, light brown head. Flavor is quite sweet and very fruity. Raisin is foremost, along with apple and plum. It’s rich and malty as well. Overall, complex but still very drinkable. Very enjoyable.

Aug 4, 2007 Flaske. Utrolig flot dybrød-brun farve. Ingen sedimenter men masser af smag. Gav endelig mening for mig.

Sep 27, 2007 11oz bottle from Bevmo. Poured a dark brown with a bit of red around the edges. Head was khaki in color, ample and slowly faded to about 1/4 inch and held with plenty of lacing. Aroma was complex with walnuts, almonds, raspberries, toast and sweet caramel. The flavor mirrored the aroma, with a bit of hops at the back end. The mouthfeel was smooth, full and satisfying with lively prickly carbonation. The finish was long and smooth with a bit of biter hops lingering. Overall: this is an outstanding brew. Recommended.
