Bornem Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Ertvelde, Belgium

Brown reddish colour. White head. Taste of prunes. Some sourness. Not too sweet.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a 3 finger white head. Aroma and flavor is roasted malt, caramel malts, some hops. Flavor is very malty, some booziness, bitter roasty finish and dark fruit.

V - brown pour with an exciteable head that crackels but doesn’t leave much lacing behind. A - Not much of one that I could detect. T - first impression is an alcoholic taste which fades into a malty wheat and then is gone in the carbonation. P - carbonation explodes in the mouth seemingly filling up with bubbles and not leaving much in the way of the actual beer behind

Bottle @ Café Viking, Cph. Served in a trappist glass. Pours a clear deep red-brown colour with a very nice steady creamy long lasting beige head leaving a good sticky lacing. Aroma of some yeast and well toasted malt, some dark fruits and alcohol. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is rather mild for a dubbel with a good bitterness, a good well toasted maltiness and some dark fruits.

Not a fan of this one. Pours a ruby-brown hue with thick off-white head. Aroma is banana, bread and dark fruit. Taste is very smooth, more banana and bread. Finish is very bitter/acidic/metallic. this would be a decent brew if not for the horrible finish. Would not seek out again.

Poured a dark brown hazy color with a little off white head. Aroma was a bit fruity but with a nice malty finish. Flavor is a bit acidic but malty at the same time.

(0.33 l bottle on 2008-04-04) Dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Fruity nose with some malts. Acidic palate. Taste contains caramell and liquorice. Full bodied.

As if I hadn’t learned my lesson from the previous van Steenberge beer I just tried, this one foamed so much it overflowed my glass. Twice. Less of a stiff meringue type head and more just alot of dense bubbly foam. Dark ruby tinted brown, cloudy. Fruity aroma with notes of banana, mango and a little brown sugar. Banana and sugar flavors, with a light dry finish that has a little touch of tannins and tart acidity. Aftertaste is somewhat metallic.
