A reddish-brown abbey ale brewed with dark malts. The secondary fermentation gives a fruity aroma and a unique spicy character with a distinctive aftertaste. Secondary fermentation in the bottle. (Serving temperature: 8-10ºC)

Robe ambré rouge sombre, limpide, mousse faible, brun clair. Nez malté, marqué, pointe de caramel cuit. Entre l'ambrée lambda et la double belge. C'est un peu aqueux, uniquement malté, un peu sec. Amertume correcte qui arrive en finale. Bof...
Mag wel ne keer ,niet zwaar
Poured a ruby chestnut body with tan foam diminishing rapidly to uneven lacing with conspicuous yeasty spots. Aroma is dark malt with strong spicy character and sugary candy rather than fruit note. Taste is medium sweet to sour as the roasted malts transit to sour grain. Palate is medium bodied, sticky feel, average to soft carbonation, and a sour finish. Not impressed by the finish. This seems a case of a high volume beer sustaining a high average through export to the non-discerning drinker (twas ever thus). It serves me right for having drunk Belgian beers in the past with barely a glance and certainly not a rating. I am retracing my steps and currently hitting all the spots I would have preferred to leave behind me.

Kolor ciemno brązowy, rubinowy, raczej klarowny. Piana barwy złamanej bieli, niska, nie trwała. Redukuje się niemal z sykiem.
Aromat mocno słodki, karmelowy korzenny, lekko palony. Po czasie pojawiają się nuty melanoidowe, chlebowe i owocowe, tutaj głównie smażone śliwki.
Smak nijaki, nie ma tutaj nic, jest pusto. Lekka słodycz, podobna goryczka i to wszystko.
Wysycenie wysokie, przeszkadza, szybko zasyca. Ciało średnie do niskiego. Tekstura nieco szorstka.

Ldkker donker biertje
Het bier ziet er schitterend uit, maar de geur en smaak hadden wat rijker mogen zijn wat mij betreft. Het komt een beetje klinisch op mij over.
De color ambar, con un dedo espumoso de buena retención. De cuerpo medio y carbonatación alta. Aroma afrutado y a caramelo. Sabor ligeramente dulce destacando la malta y el caramelo.
Amber brown colored with a good head. Fruity smell, aromas of fresh red fruits, vanilla, cherry, red lemonade. Pleasant taste, similar to its smell with a herbal note of laurel. Classic Belgian style 'Dubbel'. Nice.
Ikke lige min smag
Brown with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma full of candy and caramel. Faint note of prunes. Taste is mildly caramel sweet, Finishes much the same, albeit somewhat empty. Pleasant and quaffable enough though. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Good overall.
Color ámbar rojizo y claro, efervescente y con un dedo de espuma blanquecina y buena retención. Aroma intenso y afrutado. Sabor dulce y afrutado con toque acaramelado por la malta tostada y cierto final amargo lupulado. El cuerpo es medio y la carbonatación medio-alta.
Aroma; brown malts, spices, caramel, floral yeast, syrup. Look; off-white nice head on light mahogany body. Taste; fine roasted malts, spices, brown caramel, floral yeast, syrupy bread, plum, and leading to a nice dryish finish. Feel; nice body n co². Overall; likable.

33 cl bottle bought from supermarket. Pours hazy dark brown color with medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, brown sugar. Taste of roasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, dried fruits. Medium body & carbonation, very nice medium bitter finish. Overall a very good Belgian dubbel.
Don’t know if I got a bad batch, but 2 bottles I have taste the same and not very nice. Very bitter, metallic and burnt taste. Very unlike most other Belgian doubles, not very enjoyable to drink.
Caramel toffee aroma, pours a deep brown with a nice off-white head - hit of candy sugar immediately, has a boozy mouthfeel and complex flavours mixed in, some hints of dark fruit but the sweetness rules the roost
Colore rosso intenso, speziata si sente abbastanza la gradazione alcolica. Meno dolce di altre rosse provate. Discreta schiuma.
Caramel and toasty notes.
Aroma : Toasted sweet caramel malt, brown sugar, candied fruit, fresh figs and a little mixed spice, light grassy hop note. Taste : As aroma. Well balanced bitter-sweetness, that doesn't feel as strong as 6.8%ABV
Brown drink with a medium white head. The nose is sweet, with notes of caramel and discrete hints of spices. Light on the palate, low carbonation. The taste remains sweet, with notes of sweet malts, caramel and brown sugar. The aftertaste is quite short, sweet with a brief bitter ending. Overall, it is a decent drink, a tad too light and plain, but otherwise pleasant to drink. OK beer.
Bottle from Beerwulf.
Pours a slightly murky mahogany colour with a medium sized thick throthy beige head. Nice lacing. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, toffee, brown bread and burnt brown sugar. Taste is more of the same notes with some spice, plums and a very slight bitterness on the palate at the finish. Light to medium bodied with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Pretty good.
Bottle. Malty aroma and taste, caramel, spicy notes, medium bitter. Medium to full body, malty spicy bitter finish. Ok.
Das Dubbel ist ein weniger bekanntes Bier aus dem Hause Affligem.
Es konnte mich damals schon nicht allzu sehr erfreuen. Es hat eine schöne kirschrote Farbe, aber geschmacklich könnte man mehr rausholen.
Fruchtige Aromen sind schon ok, aber für ein richtiges Dubbel fehlen mir Malz und wenigstens ein bisschen Hopfenwürze.
Flaska z Kauflandu. Vona silna medova karamelova. Farba tmavokaramelova. Chut silnejsia alkoholova chmelova karamelova. Na konci ostava chvilku.
Very delicious "Dubbel" beer to drink.. From the start of your draught you feel so many flavors in your mouth.. "Belgian" yeast, caramel, chocolate, fruits..
Anyway the beer has moderate carboration and decent mouthfeel.. Also you get some kind dry and little metallic aftertaste..
Overall a very good beer to drink. Has great aroma and decent taste.. For sure i suggest it..
흑맥주,벨지에 듀벨, 향 좋고 크게 쌉싸름하지는 않음

Bottle. Pours clear amber, thick beige head, prettu stable. Aroma of dried fruit, plums, marmalade. Taste is light to moderate bitter, fruity mouthfeel. Light to medium body, lively carbonation, light bitter finish.
