A fantastic tripel, but not quite as good as Westmalle's IMO and more pricey.
This was my first Dubbel, and I didn't expect the level of hop presence, honestly! Now I'm starting to see how this whole Dubbel-Tripel-Quadrupel thing wokrs. I still prefer the tripel style for its smooth homogeneity but I couldn't find a single fault with this dubbel and I think I'll have a hard time finding something that comes close because this was just so darn good. Very high flavor for a 7.0%, too. The taste is largely hops, typical high Belgian carbonation levels, dark malts present in quads but at subdued levels compared to the other flavors.
edit: By the way, anywhere I can order a reasonably priced chalice?
