Appearance: It has a nice clear rusted amber color to it. It has a nice thick beige head that dies down moderately and leaves nice lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of molasses, caramel, brown sugar, some dark fruit, some nuts and faint dark fruit.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has some sweet molasses, brown sugar and caramel, some dark fruit, an earthy bitterness and toasty malts.
Mouthfeel: It has a low/medium carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas.

A:
Pours a clear reddish amber with a beautiful creamy, teensy-bubbled head. Good retention; very little lacing.
S:
Caramel, earthy funk, booze, nuts.
T:
Soft and mineraly. Dry yeasty tinge with dirt, nuts, and creamy rust. Really good overall flavor with tiniest taste of hops at the end.
M:
Creamy and soft. A little crisp carbonation. Nice smooth finish.
O:
Really solid beer. I haven't many beers from this brewery but will have to check out some more of their stuff. Nice and easy drinking. Tastes slightly more "English" than some dubbels I've had but it is really good. Full and rich and doesn't burn you out.
Would have again. Worth trying.

A - fully hazy swampy purple brown, thumb of tan head dissipated slowly, fairly consistent lacing
S - molasses and nutty aromas with some raisins and a touch of earth and spice, a little on the mild side here
T - hearty molasses malt with dark fruits and mild nutty malts, hints of phenols in the background, very rich flavours
M - more than medium body, somewhat creamy, finishes rich but not too full
O - a nice dark dubbel, flavours are pleasant and rich, a pleasure to have brews like this is a mixer pack

Another treat courtesy of joemcgrath27...
A - Pours a nice dark ruby colour, thin layer of head with little retention or lacing.
S - Mild on the nose, hints of dark fruit, raisins and molasses with a hint of caramel on the finish.
T - Rich flavour with molasses dominating the profile alongside some dark fruits, raisins, toffee, a touch of cocoa and licorice.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and wet.
O - I really enjoyed this dubbel, flavour profile was unique offering up a bit more of molasses, which was a pleasant change to what I'm used to. This stuff is incredibly sessionable and well worth seeking out.

341ml bottle. For a beer obfuscated by a somewhat (I'm Western Canadian, forgive me) foreign language, 'thirsty' still plays well enough in the sticks, if ya knowhutimean...
This beer pours a clear, very dark, very reddish amber hue, with two fingers of moderately puffy, loosely foamy pale beige head, which leaves a low, barely perceptible vista of ebbing shoreline lace around the glass as it lazily seeps away.
It smells of rather mild biscuity caramel malt, softly assertive yeast, a bit of overly sweet, grapey red wine, and some astringent earthy, leafy hops. The taste is biscuity, grainy, caramel malt, somewhat testy earthy yeast, further soft dark fruit, a very subtle nutty essence, overripe banana mush, somewhat overdone brown sugar notes, and a very understated booze astringency.
The carbonation is laid-back, and generally supportive, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, the yeast assuming the trickster role. It finishes well off-dry, the yeasty Belgian malt still on top, as the caramel, fading fruit, and prickly booze roll out in support.
A rather enjoyable iteration of the style, so much so that it took me a spell or so before I could acknowledge the little bit of New World sideshow. Tasty, and approachable enough overall to reel in the attention of newcomer and Belgo-phile alike, I would imagine.
