La Trappe Dubbel

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

Bottle. Koningshoeven label. Brown pour with garnet highlights. Frothy, ivory head. Dark fruit and malt nose with an almost sourdough-like yeast note. Creamy and sweet mouth feel with very little flavor.. There is a bit of dark fruit as well as a nice yeast note but it comes across as watered down. Bummer.

Very rich flavor with hints of sweetness, but still quite dry on the finish. Bit like a drier birch syrup flavor.

33 cl. bottle. Pours a clear garnet hue with a thick tan head. Sweet, maple syrup, vanilla almond smell. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. Taste is rich, malty with dates, figs, and maple syrup. Alcohol taste is in the background. Hop flavor is absent. A great dubble here.Feb 2005

Konings 7% bottle - nice deep mahogany brown. Fruity aroma, not strong. Tastes fruity and very yeasty, maybe some bitter hop. Very mouth filling feeling, a sweet harsh feeling going down. Dry, fizzy, slightly sweet finish. An ok beer, but only average for a Trappist.

Dark brown, with a brown tinted head that dissipates quickly. Thin body. Metallic aroma. Tastes smooth with fruit and not much yeast. Slight bitter end.

Dark brown with a nice creamy head. Thin bodied beer. Taste is of black cherry almost. Very delicious.

It pours a cloudy dark brown color with a medium sized beige and creamy head. Rich aroma of plum, black cherry, orange, caramel and dark chocolate. Very sweet flavor with a mild bitterness, almost no track of yeast. Bitter finish. This could be better if it was more refreshing, but it’s not, as you don’t have to drink it that cold.

Dark brown with medium creamy head. Aroma is malty with overripe fruits and yeast. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, toffee and fruits. Finishes with little bitternes.
