Bottle Deep brown, clear body. Creamy, lightly brown head. Nice aroma of malts (both crispy and burnt), fruits, wine, port, wood. Subtle but complex. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour (of malts and bit smoke). Good balance but not very complex. Easy drinkable. Dryish finish.

This beer has the typical dubbel features: its appearance is nice dark and it has sweet taste. I quite like this Westmalle version of our beloved dubbel beers! When i opened the bottle there was a nice top of foam on the bottle, which looked so nice, appearance was worth a 5!

Perfect golden color, with beautiful thick creamy lasting head. High carbonation. Aroma of spices, grain. Good spicy, grainy taste, with some orange and citrus, soft but a bit alcoholic. Only slightly alcoholic bit dry palate. Like the Karmeliet Tripel, this is a more grainy tripel, very good though.

Bottle Blond, clear body. White, creamy head. Nose of sweet malts (straw and sirupes). Moderately bitter, moderately sweet initial flavour. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter finish. A very well-balanced beer. One of my all-time favourites to drink now and then.

Very dark, with full malty, raisiny, curranty and alcohol aromas and a mellow, smooth, but rich dark malt palate.

As far as I remember, the alcohol content (in Holland) was 9,5%? This is a beer that (as you Americans so subtly put it) 'kicks ass'. Had this after Duvel - do I need to say more? Lots of flavour, the yeast is a bit too dominant for my taste. Mighty stuff!

Pale orange coloured, slightly hazy. Pours very lively with big airy head. Flowery yeasty aroma. Sugary, sweetish nose, funky mouthfeel, alcohol-peppery bitterish finish. Leaves a lingering candy sugar flavour in your mouth. Good? No doubt! World classic? Maybe not.
