La Trappe Dubbel

Light brown creamy colour. Brown-mahogany colour. Aroma is malty, fruity with caramel, spicy and light alcohol notes. Flavor is malty too with dark fruits and light caramel tones, ending in a sweet candy finish. Medium to full bodied.

Cloudy brown hue, with a tan-colored head, yeasty, fruity, raisiny, plummy nose, with a sweet chocolatey, winey, faint accent, with a hint of candi sugar, molasses, and some toasted, caramelized malt aromas follow though on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasty, caramel malt, fruity, chocolatey character, with some cookie dough, plummy, figgy, raisiny, datey flavors, with some toffeeish, caramel, molasses accents, leading towards a malty, fruity, raisiny, plummy, mild chocolatey finish.

Dark, mahogany red brown, a finger of smooth creamy tan head, plums and cherries. Sweet but simple malt aroma, some dark candi sugar. Taste is big bold prunes, sweet beet sugar, a light bittering and alcohol finish. Straightforward but good.

Lacks hop, but not a bad dubbel. I thought they had lost their Trappist rating! I don’t believe they can still call their beers Trappist beer.

[33cl bottle from Morrisons.] Reddish brown with a dense cream head, rather lively when first poured; rather sickly aroma, with caramel and yeast to the fore; really nice chewy malt flavours with lots of caramel and nuts and a trace of bubble gum; light fruity finish - not over sweet. Very pleasant apart from the aroma.

Dark Brown color with a rich creamy head. Medium bodied, sweet malty aroma with fruity and caramel hints. Fruity taste wih lots of yeast. Nice , slightly inferior to Westmalle Dubbel.

Bottle at home. One of the best beers I’ve enjoyed recently. Very good oatmeal flavour, light taste, not too overwhelming.

750 ml, thanks lithy. Dark brown with a lasting head and sugary lace. Aroma of brown sugar, spicy molasses, cocoa and light berry. Flavor is the same, but more so. Medium body is watery and finishes dryish.
