*Old rating, best before end of 2005. Nice brown and smooth brew. Full-bodied with lots of spices and dried fruit. Intense, nice!

Belgian dubbel renowned for being aged in a cave, hence the name. Deep dark brown beer with pale beige, medium thick, stable head; agreeable aroma of raisins, chocolate, caramel, toasted bread, figs, peaches and port wine; sweet, smooth taste, very fruity, candi syrup, not cloying but instead very well balanced with a bitterish, lightly toasted and herbally hoppy finish. Very noble character - but then, nothing less is to be expected from this great brewery. Based on old notes, this reminds me I urgently have to taste this again. And find that elusive blonde version...

Taste comprises brown bread, dark fruit, woody, musty, herbal rince, light yeast esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light sugary trail. So so affair.
