Can't believe I've never got my hands on one of these. Farmhouse hay and a touch of lemon. Some pepper. Super easy drinking. Golden pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Bottle.

330ml bottle from Brewers Haven. Big gush on opening, never stopping foamy, I think maybe I got about half a bottles worth to sample. Golden pour with silky white head. Aroma and taste seem a bit oxidized. Musty, old grains, very little Belgian yeast presence. Disappointed.

Servida en su cáliz, color marron opaco, espuma beige de buena retención. Deliciosa y elegante en nariz, mostrando notas de levadura, malta tostada, regaliz, pasas, dátiles y pan negro. En boca es de cuerpo medio, de entrada moderadamente dulce y afrutada, evolucionando a regusto con matices mas amargos y torrefactos. Textura ligeramente oleosa, alcohol perfectamente integrado. Excelente Dubbel trapense imprescindible de probar...y Amén

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow with a huge white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and yeast. Taste of grains, citrus fruits, straw and yeast. Slightly sweet and spicy. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very balanced and refreshing. Such an easy drinking beer yet so flavorful. Great. If it was easily available around here it would become a sure staple in my fridge.
