(33cl bottle) Hazy, copper colour with a big and beige foamy head. Sweet and slightly yeasty berry-fruity aroma with a moderately toasty touch. Sweet flavour with a mild bitterness in the wings, medium bodied with a pleasant, mildly crispy carbonation. Toast-malty and slightly fruity taste with caramel and light spicy notes. Sweet and burnt-bitter finish. A bit slim but anyway likeable Dubbel (21.V.09).

(33cl bottle) Hazy, orange coloured with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Sweet and yeasty malty aroma, slightly bready with a touch of lemon, medicinal phenols and lighter hoppy notes combined with slightly rotten flowers. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, full bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid pale malty base, bready taste with delicate fruity notes; sweetish and alcoholic finish with a shy fruity touch (11.IV.09).

(33cl bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a medium-sized, non-persistent frothy white head. Sweet pale malty and lemon-fruity aroma with a flowery and slightly coriander-spicy touch. Moderately sweet and sourish flavour, medium bodied with an almost creamy carbonation. Citrus-/lemon-fruity taste with calm spicy notes towards the fruit-accented and slightly bitter and tart finish. Not that what I call complexity but it is a clean and well-made, pretty easy-going Ale (11.IV.09).

(33cl bottle) Hazy, amber coloured and effervescent hue with a big and dense off-white foamy head. Sweet slightly toasted cara-malty aroma with a mild fruity note of apricot and citrus, combined with a shy nutty touch. Sweet flavour with a tinge of citrus-/lemon-fruity sourness; cara-malty, slightly nutty taste light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation; slightly toasted sweet-bitter finish with rounded spice notes. Pretty fine, not too heavy Ale (11.IV.09).

Super muddy brown coloured body when held up to a light with a perfectly dense tan head that has plenty of sound as it fizzes. Aroma of nice sour grapes, malt, yeast, caramel and a bit of nuts - very nice. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive malt in the flavour with a strong nutty and caramel taste in the mix. Aftertaste is fairly mild, not too much poking through except for some caramel and pit fruit type tastes. Overall, a good beer, but not amazing. Regardless, still really good to try, and worth getting if you are over on this side of the pond. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 15-March-2009.

Bottled. Hazy brownish color, medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, some brown sugar, bit nutty, some roasted malt. Decent malty taste, some sweetness. Ok abbey doublle.
