This is a very interesting brew and from a new brewer for me. Like a dubbel mixed with Orval. There is all the malty burlap, brown sugary, date and fig of a beer like Ommegang (plus some vanilla and black cherry of its own) but then there is also the limey lavender that I associate with some of the great Trappists, especially Orval and Rochefort. It's there in the aroma as well: floral and sweet - something of a botanical contradiction. A fine, slightly antiqued red tan head over bright clear chestnut ale. Very soft water making it very moreish even with a respectable 7.5%. Three of every 100 BAers are not impressed, unlike me. There is a freshness and tangy zip to this dubbel that keeps it from being overly cloying on a thundery evening - even with that burlappy thing.
