This is a dark Trappist dubbel from the Westmalle brewery. It has a very yeasty nose, with dark roast malt and caramel, and a high-rise, fairly tenacious head that follows the beer to the end of the glass. The taste is also richly malty and treacley, with phenol and zest towards the finish. A burnt sugar bitterness is also apparent towards the finish, which itself is long, quite sweet, heavily malty and a little cloying. While not as complex as their Tripel this is undoubtedly a fine brew.
