October 2008: 330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.3%. Very dark brown colour, big beige head. The aroma has some unpleasant notes of stale chocolate and stale berries, also notes of anise. The flavour is moderately sweet and slightly fruity with notes of anise and malts. The anise seems entirely misplaced in a dubbel. This is not a beer for me.

finally a beer review since my move to the netherlands! drunk a whole lot of beer (and still only working my way through the stuff they sell in the shops) but haven’t been doing much reviewing; i haven’t quite found the time, until now! this beer is, well, only alright, definitely some nice dark bread and milk chocolate flavours there, high but nice levels of sweetness, but is brought down by somewhat mineral-y taste, medium bitterness on the finish, pretty light in body for a double, a bit watery, medium to high carbonation, it’s not unpleasant by any means but it’s not a great beer, which is unfortunate, especially in a style i am very fond of

This review is of a 3 liter magnum set aside 15 years ago. It poured with a beautiful head without any off notes on the nose. It presented as a work a day ale with a slightly watery consistency and light flavor for a double. The fact that this survived the years as a drinkable ale makes it an interesting curiosity but I would not do this again. If you have this drink and enjoy.

L- Very dark chestnut brown with a hint of ruby and 2Cm pillowy tan head. Some sediment entered the pour, some remains in the bottle. Head holds well.
S- A mild toffee/caramel then hints of roastedness after.
T- Quite bright and dryish (for a double) with some moderately toasted facets following. There also a light sour note I register more as I sip on.
F- Quite bright, esp. with the mild sour fruit note. No risk of finding this heavy/cloying in any way. The ABV% is also quite well hidden.
O- This one has thrown me somewhat, it's not what I expected, nor expect from a Belgian abbey dubbel. It's brighter/hoppier and the sour note is totally something I'd not expect to find. Ok to try, wouldn't buy it again.
Checking the ingredients they incl.: glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose, bitter orange peel, liquorice juice, and star anise.
No idea what all that refined sugar is for I don't consider it a positive, at all.

It is coke in a dubbel. Same sweet sugar cane, dark chocolate, dark malts and high carbonation. Not what I want in a dubbel, missing complexity and balance. A little acidic too. Not a do over, but not terrible by any means
