Bottle at Antwaerps Bierhuiske. Pale blond colour, small white head. Aroma is floury, grain, bit of hop, yeasty. Taste is nice, quite thin, but good. Lemon, grainy. Nice and drinkable, I prefer this to the tripel.

Draught at Delirium Monasterium. Chocolate brown with beige/gold creamy head. Aroma is full of beefy dubbel smell, lots of roast malt, bit of caramel, some hops and something floral. Probably how I think all dubbels should smell. Taste is yeasty, roasty, sweet caramel, toffee, creamy malt, bit of chocolate. Touch of parma violet. Very smooth and very lovely. Malty sweet finish. A classic.

had it on tap in Oldenzaal. Taste of burned malt, fruity (apple, raisin), yeasty. Complex like almost all trappist ales. A bit sweeter than when bottled.

33 cl. bottle @ Menno, shared bij Wim-Jaap. hazy light golden with a white head. Malty yeasty aroma with some white pepper. Medium bitter taste. Tastes like a session version of the Westmalle tripel, which is a good thing.
