La Trappe Dubbel

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Berkel-Enschot, Netherlands

Serve in Trappist glass

Bottle, last year. Brown and very cloudy. The head didn’t last long. Strong aroma, with hints of dried plums, maltiness, cherries and a bit of alcohol in the background. Very full-bodied. Very malty, with a lot of yeasty nots, nuts, fruits and caramel.

On tap. Served a thick dark brown with a red hue. Head was a short thick cream that laced the glass for the entire drink. Aroma heavy with malts, licorice, raisins, yeast, brown sugar, and subtle fruit. Moderate body. Flavor heavy with caramel, malts, more sweet fruits, and sharp spices to lace the alcohol. Well carbonated, moderate mix of bitterness and sweetness. Finishes sharp.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark brown slightly sweet Dubbel with some caramel hints and taste of roasted malts.

Tipica dolciona industriale stile similbelga, e questi hanno pure il logo trappist. Birre del genere mi hanno davvero rotto le scatole..

On draught at Paters Vaetje, Antwerpen. Aroma of caramel. Sweet, brown-sugar taste. No real hop taste to finish. Quite nice.

33 cl bottle, pours dark amber, aroma is dark fruits and malt, taste is sweet malt with a hint of dark fruits, somewhat abrupt finish, decent dubbel though.

Was served On-tap in a La Trappe Chalice at a cafe/pub in Amsterdam. It had a deep amber color with a decent head. The smell was sweet and fruity. The taste was sweetness and finished with a bitterness. It has a medium body that went down easy with no real hint of alcohol. Enjoyable brew to finish the day with.

33 cl bottle. Dark copper with small lasting tan head. Flavour is malt, caramel, dark fruit, sweet, spices and yeast.
