Pours a dark brown with a foamy beige head. Aroma of malts, brown sugar, yeast, dark fruits, caramel, some spices. Pretty sweet with a spicy finish. Not bad at all.

Аромат волшебный. Темные фрукты,карамель,немного цветочных сладких ноток. Цвет темно янтарный. Пена кремовая, долго оседает. Вкус карамельный, сладкий, темные фрукты. Послевкусие сладкое, слегка приторное. В целом отличный дюбель.

330ml bottle. Dark brown with moderate beige creamy head once settled, lots of lacing. Looks great. Aroma of rasins, berries, caramel, toffee, semi sweet and rich. Taste is aromatic spicy, rasins, light treacle, caramel, berries. Light bitter resin finish which is decent but could be better. Mouthfeel is smooth but slightly sticky, soft carbonation. This is not one of those Belgium beers that make you go 'wow' but it is very well made.

Servida en cáliz, color marrón oscuro, casi negro, rojo al trasluz, espuma beige claro bien conservada. En nariz maltas tostadas, tofe, uvas pasas, dátiles, frutos secos...muy agradable. En boca se percibe de cuerpo medio, entra acariciando el paladar con notas de malta, caramelo, fruta pasificada y una ligera puntita de regaliz y frutos rojos. No es excepcionalmente profunda pero si muy agradable, rica y placentera, el amargor esta bastante ajustado, bien equilibrada. Para mi gusto una dubbel rica, deleitosa y disfrutable, ideal para fechas navideñas.

Clear reddish-brown beer, thick foamy head. Smells malty, a little hop and a distinct spiciness, presumably the coriander. Flavour has a bit of the spice up front which also lends it some lingering warmth, some fruit in here too, sweet malt. Nice warmth to it, very decent if a bit sweet if you go at it at more than a sipping pace.
