Bottle from FinestBelgianBeers. Pours a dark chestnut brown colour with a thin to medium soapy beige head. Aromas of malts, dry dark fruits, molasses, caramel, liquorice, faint chocolate, wood, and a little brown sugar. Taste has all the same notes as the aroma with added notes of alcohol. Low carbonation. Medium bodied with a smooth and oily mouthfeel and a slightly sweet fruity dry finish. Well balanced. an ok Dubbel.

A can share at HomeBrewStuff Medium brown pour, classic malty smooth aromas and palate. Not much on the cherries. perhaps a bit of added tartness. Fairly dark and caramelized for a claimed Tripel. Just OK

Abtsolution has been a difficult acquisition. This 750 ml bottle was finally picked up by my son in Houston and brought to me. I see it is caged and has a synthetic cork. Unfortunately, my recent experience with other than a natural cork has not been good. Just saying. My Straffe Hendrik snifter is positioned for this sampling. I determine a hazy, copper-brown body with what appears to be a decent carbonation and a thin, light tan skim. Nice smell, dark fruit and chocolate. And the taste, a subdued opening. Some dates, wood, grain bread, just the barest hint of sweetness. Perhaps a bit of the advertised hops showing up. The sensation is mostly flat, too bad on that. Okay, but I expected so much more.

330 ml can. Pours a dark copper color with full head. Aromas of a banana split with breadfruit and doughy malts. Flavors follow with additional soft mellow oak and candy. Can’t get much star anise Maybe the sweetness. Good.

750ml bottle from the brewery. Aged at least a year, maybe more. Shows some signs off oxidation, but nothing major. Big fig, dark fruit tones. Caramel malts balance them out. Drinkable. At 9%, not exactly a huge version of the style. Finishes with some alcohol warmth. It is good, but not quite on the same level as some of the Belgian classic as far as mouthfeel, finesse. The oak is unique and well played.
