The Pour - Pours a dark brown color with a tan head that hangs around. Good lacing.
Aroma - Malty, caramel, dark fruits, spices.
Taste - Sweet, malty, caramel, spices like clove, licorice and slightly hoppy. 
Mouth Feel - Full body, high carbonation.
Drinkable - Not the best dubbel I've had but still a good one.  Too much carbonation for my taste.  I purchased this in Fall of 2010.  Aging another year or two will help in that department.

Try this with savory dishes, meats, slow-cooked French dishes made with pork, lamb, rabbit, beef, carbonnades, hotchpot, marinated roasts, barbeque, rich cheeses, almost every dessert.
