Grimbergen Double (Dubbel)

A reddish brown ale with a thick creamy moka head. Nice caramel toffee aroma with orange peels notes. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt, orange peels and light hopping, treacle notes. Medium bodied. A classy dybbel. Bought at Supersol, Vall d’Hebron, 1.35 E. and tasted mid Nov. 2006.

Pours a ruby brown in color. Decent amount of pillowy head. Decent carbonation. I’m usually not a big fan of Dubbels, but this had more flavors that I do like. There was a definite toffee flavor, as well as a very nice dark fruit appearing as well. Which I didn’t mind at all. Good beer.

Bottle 33cl. Pours an nice clear brown/red colour, good size head, but doesn’t last very long. Very sweet aroma, can detect many fruits, mainly cherries and pears. Also a faint smell of nuts. Goes down the hatch very smooth, taste gives away the fruits again, but even stronger and more powerful. Hops also in the taste, with a touch of the alcohol, great combination all together.

Ive past this up many times @ a local bottle shop.On this night It was gratifying or something sippin’ on a goblet of Grimbergen Dubble as if I were Henry the 8th.
This beer drinks down resembling Rochefort 6,I reckon.Or maybe a watered down Rochefort 8,but without the street cred :
I got crud loads of burnt chocolate...spices and dry backdrops Is that Forest Gateau in the aromas or something ?. I think this is coolio.

bottle. pours a dark ruby red colour with a good head. sweet aroma. taste is bitter/sweet and the aftertaste is very good.
