Affligem Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Opwijk, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

750ml bottle, pours a clear red/brown with big frothy off-white head. Aroma not very strong for a Belgian dubbel, light scent of malt and fruit, with some acidic character and alcohol. Taste is of fruit and yeasty malt, somewhat acidic. Mouthfeel is very watery, not rich like most Belgians. Compared to other trappist ales, this one is lacking.

I think I had this one for the first time in the over-priced bar/restaurant in the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Appearance: Dark brown. Nice amount of head. Aroma: Malty and fruity. Taste: Fresh. Malty and fruity. Info: 330ml bottle, 6/4-2006

Really aromatic beer with some citric touch(orange like) and laces of toasted malt. You can feel a sweet and acidic inicial flavor that lasts. Ligth brown head and quite fizzy. With lively carbonation it has a watery texture.

75cl bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa). Pours a dark brown with one finger white-tan head. Good head retention. Smells of flowers, a little citrus, hint of molasses, and sweet aromas. Tastes of rich deep barley, slight chocolate, finishes slightly bitter.

spicy fruity, aroma could be stronger and the typical affligem strong sweetness, quite good though

Pours dark, translucent brown/red. Stays on the glass well. I’m having trouble smelling much. Reminds me of a pilsner if anything, but I can’t really catch a scent. The taste is confusing. Some yeast, distasteful bitterness, sweaty malt flavour and something else. I didn’t like this. Perhaps my bottle or tastebuds are faulty.

Bottle. Bought this belgian because it was on sale. Spicy fruity amber pour into my glass. Somewhat malty in in the finish. eh.
