Reddish brown color with a massive head that slowly settled to a thick cap. Moderate amount of lacing is left on the glass.
Large chocolate aroma. Not the bitter, raw kind, but more of a processed milk chocolate. There is also some fruit scents like bananas and cherries.
Chocolate is much less dominant in the flavor than the aroma. Milk chocolate upfront but there is a nice dubbel underneath. Nice malt flavor with plenty of yeast esters. Cherries come out again. Also a little alcohol can be tasted in the finish. Nice neutral balance between sweet and bitter.
Body is a little too light but this has awesome carbonation. A soft, delicate texture that really brings out the best of the beer.
Good chocolate flavor and a good dubbel. A nice sipper and dessert beer.

Not the prettiest brown colored beer ever, small tan head on it. Pretty much nothing but chocolate in the aroma, shit that is better than your average dubbel right there.
Wow, this is definitely not a traditional dubbel. All chocolate, not sugary. Smooth. Hey, its a chocolate dubbel, pretty much as advertised.
