Affligem Dubbel
A cloudy reddish colored brew with a thick off white head and lots of carbonation bubbles.
Fruit and citrus are the main aromas with some spice lurking in the background.
Very thick rich creamy mouth feel.
Spice and citrus to start, with fruit in the middle and a hoppy citrus finish. There is also a slight taste of alcohol. Quite nice.

Affligem Dubbel
A cloudy, dark copper coloured beer with a huge and lasting light tan coloured head. The head leaves lot's of lace if you wait long enough for it to shrink.
The aroma has a strong and clean mineral note, like hard water with a lot of iron in it. Some vanilla, cloves and sugar aromas make it through but the hard water smell is a pleasant note for a guy who grew up in the country with a well that always gave water with this hard water iron taste to it.
Feel is thick, rich and creamy, very nice.
Taste starts with a touch of cloves and vanilla on top of some raisins and plums. A bright light bitterness finishes it but the raisin and plum tastes linger.
This is a great beer, I'm making a chicken stew for dinner tonight and I think one of these will go really well with it.

The tan head was so big I couldn't get it all in the glass no matter how slowly I poured.
The beer is a cloudy light brown colour.
It smells spicy like cloves and black pepper, somehow it almost reminds me of pumpkin pie.
Taste is full of raisins and prunes and stuff, the spice smell is also in the taste but in the background somehow. I can taste it but I thought it would be more up front than it is.
It feels quite thick and creamy.
I like this beer, wish I bought more than one.
