La Trappe Dubbel

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

It is the strong Dunkel than I remember to have taken. Palate accented of coffee, caramel, toasting and, over all, chocolate bitter taste (pure cacao). Perhaps therefore its palate tent to the sweet one. Very good aroma and cream, however too carbonated. Pretty color (brown). I detach as weak point the bitter taste that is in the tongue, extreme to mine. Very subtle aftertaste. Evident alcohol.

Bottle. Amber red color with a large fizzy good lacing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramael, chokolate, moderate yeasty, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and modrate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle (form Bitter Virtue)> Fruity and toffeeish on the nose with mild yeast. Slightly sweet with mild tartness. Very smooth with the sweetness more restrained than in some beers. On the whole unimpressive but quite drinkable.

I did not really care for the flavor. For some reason all i could taste was sweat. No idea why. Other than that, it looked quite nice, but still I ended up disappointed.

Bottle. Red/Brown amber colour with a average off-white head. Aroma and flavour of caramel, chocolate, dried fruit, spice and malt.

Bottel. Dark red-brown colour with a nice big creamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel and malt, slightly yeasty with spices. Flavour is sweet and bitter, good maltiness, caramel, some spiciness and fruitiness. Bitter-sweet finish. Very tasty beer.

Abit of a disappointment after the Blond, but good nevetrheless. Chocolate and caramel predominate. Not really to my taste.

Pours Dark Brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, brandy, malt and fruit. Very nice. Tastes sweet, hints of chocolate. Nice carbination. Very aromatic and drickable. Could be a favorite!
