De Drie Kruizen Karthuizer Dubbel

Brewed by Deca Services
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Woesten-Vleteren, Belgium

Aroma of sweet malt, yeast and slightly bitter hops. Hazy red color with tan head. Flavor starts out with sweet malt and moves to a quite dry somewhat bitter finish. Medium bodied.

I agree with caesar that this brew isn’t really a dubbel. But imo the aroma is more like a german pilsener or dunkel, when it comes to aroma. Bit hoppy and malty, perhaps some hints of fruits. Not too good i think. Hazy, red-brown coloured with a lasting, thin, off-white head. Taste is sweet, malty (caramel), some fruit in it and a hopbitter finish.

Best until end '03. Light colored for a dubbel, some kind of faded orange color, almost no head. Orange and some porto in the aroma. Vinous, almost sherry-like flavor with some orange and a hint of porto. Sweetish, light bodied and some hopbitterness. Not abundant with flavors and aroma's.

Copper color, medium lasting creamy head. Sour creamy taste. Bit tart aroma, gueuze like. I can't recognize any typical double features though. I shared the bottle with jerohen, and maybe that expiration date could do the trick...

One year after expiration date: clear amber coloured, nice lacing. Malty aroma, bit hoppy. Dry bitter flavour. Not really dubbel-style.

Sweet and spices.
