This top-fermented dark beer is brewed with roasted malts. The secondary fermentation in the bottle gives it its powerful and pleasant character. Reddish-brown with a creamy and persistent head.The nose is quite complex, powerful and full-bodied with earthy notes of old wood. First aromas are powerful (alcohol), spicy (wood) yet always well balanced, leading up to a pleasantly caramelised finish. The round mouthfeel and roasted malty flavour reinforce the aromas of coffee and toffee (molasses and caramelised butter). Its dark colour and warm strength make Waterloo Double Dark a delicious beer!

Bottled. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, nuts, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, nuts, and yeast, leading to an alcoholic finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear, deep and warm amber with a huge, lacing beige head. Perfumy nose. Solid body, roasted malty, overripe fruit, brown sugar and a perfumy spiciness. Quite a bitter finish though. 211009

Bottled (Bs, BB 01/2011). Dark ruby-brown color, medium-sized off-white head. Caramelly dark fruity nose with some brown sugar and alcohol. Crisp carbonation. Caramel, spices, some licorice, iron. Long spicey and alcoholic aftertaste. This one has more "bite" than standard middle-on-the-road abbey dubbel.

Gushing (-1) to huge yellow-brown head over gorgeous deep ruby-brown (+1) beer. Sweet bready & leafy nose, roasted malts, sweet. Burnt-bitter flavour overlying more sweet malts. Some leafy notes, but generally quite dull. Well-bodied, near-chewy, bit fizzy. Some might argue balance, I would rather maintain lifeless...

Smooth chocolate and caramel aroma, with a vinous, fruity flavor that is sweet but well balanced. Very smooth with great body. This was a big surprise. Very well made dubbel. This unanimously thumped Westmalle Dubbel and Chimay Red in a 4-person blind tasting we had.

Bottle at Monk, Brussels, 25-07-08 This beer was served in an earthenware mug so colour was difficult to determine (looked brown) This is a fairly simple inoffensive dubbel, quite smooth some soft candy and demarara sugar, malty and I keep coming back to the sweetness maybe a little too sweet, its ok.
