Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma contains some alcohol, caramel, toffee, dark fruit, and chocolate. The flavor is malty with dark fruit, caramel, spices, and toffee. The palate is a bit thin is the only complaint. I love this style and this is not best example but still pretty good.

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 8%. Mahogany coloured beer, huge beige head. Moderate aroma, notes of caramel, brown malts, brown bread and dust, hints of marzipan. The flavour has notes of brown bread with hints of caramel, but this is probably the driest dubbel I have ever had. Dust in the finish, very moderate hops. The alcohol is well hidden - I would have guessed that this was a 5.5- 6% beer, not 8%. Definitely drinkable, but far from exciting.

Bottle: Poured a hazy deep brown color ale with large foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with good Belgian malt backbone. Taste is also a nice mix between some candi sugar and strong malt backbone with some notes of dry fruits such as raisins. Good carbonation and full body with no noticeable alcohol. Very well done overall and a bit more character would have made this even better.

I tried this beer on March 7, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark cloudy reddish-brown colour with a tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, some yeast, and raisins. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with high-carbonation, almost champagne-like. The flavour was also sweet malt, with a definite alcoholic taste in back.
