Wow. Wowey. Wowerson. This was a delightful beer. All Abbey Dubbels are okay in my book and this one is another great example of the style. Had this at Stuff Yer Face a while ago and I remember it being a dark reddish brown color with a sweet taste. Bing you ask...You bet.--Original rate--4.
Rerate-- Very vinuous and fruity, especially raisins. A little medicinal. Not as great as I remember but still good. There are better Dubbels out there.

does not count  Aug 28, 2008 Got this one from matsciguy - thanks man. Nice smooth aroma, clear brown sugar color, not too carbonated and the head was not too sticky or rocky and didn’t last. To me I tasted raisins and plums. Mild bitternes and light on the tongue. Very nice.

Very fresh and sweet scent, can find traces of apple, banana and a slight trace of orange. Taste is also fresh, delightful caramel and chocolate, mixed in a whole variaty of different fruits.
Lovely on the palate.
An excellent dubbel beer!

Aug 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours red brown with a beihe head. Fruity aroma, with raisin, caramel, banana, and bubblegum. Flavor is way malty, with dark fruit, a hint of chocolate, and a dry and slightly hoppy finish. Very good.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled. A hazy brown beer. Medium head is cloudy and white in colour. Warm aroma has lots of sweey&sour fruits, raisins, dates and some hops. Malts are sweetish, a bit toffy in the finish. The finish is medium bitter, surprisingly sour and dry. Medium bodied. Foaming and a bit fizzy carbonation, but mouthfeel is still quite smooth.

does not count Aug 18, 2008 Champagne bottle from corner market here in beer heaven Seattle. One year in bottle. Pours clear ochre with foamy tan head. Aroma of apricots, sugar, figs, cloves. Flavor of burnt sugars, orange peel, ripe bananas, hints of caramel and toffee. Lingering finish of earthy ripe fruit skins. Slightly oxidized. Luxurious foam clings until the end. Mightily satisfying.
