Commercial Description:
Famous for their Saison Ale, Brasserie Dupont is also renowned in Belgium for their Moinette. This sturdy ale has an herbal bouquet that indicates its well hopped character. But unlike its drier cousin, its body is fuller and rounder with a slightly sweet finish. Delicious before a meal and with foods like marinated meats and barbecue.

33 cl. bottle. Clear red/brown with a small white head. Lightly bitter and medium sweetness. Aroma of malt, spices and marzipan. Alcohol in the finish.

75 cL bottle. Pours golden orange, clear, and with a diminished white head. Aroma is slight spiced and malty with a whiff of alcohol. Flavour is sweet and spiced with a subdued malt flavour. Has a nice spice note along the way and into the finish. Solid, but the weakest from Moinette.

Bottle. [thank you, yespr, shared @ Plan B]
Pours a pretty and very clear, but rather pale, amber (not brown at all). Head is big, rather foamy and off white. Aroma is lightly sweet with a little dried fruits – certainly not like a dubbel. Flavour is lightly malty sweet, rather powerfully vinious and warming. The dried fruits appear again at the final aftertaste. Rather nice, but there are so many better alternatives.

Bottle. Muddy orange with a fizzy, big top. Aroma is sweet and grapey. It drinks with a bit of a spicey edge, a bit of banana mush to it, too. Warms your gullet. Classic to the style. (#3199, 11/10/2007)

Pours a hazy medium orange-brown with a nice head. Aroma has lots of floral hops and funky yeast, with some citrus in there as well. Flavor is a standard Belgian brown ale profile... brown malts, yeast, hints of mushrooms, with some very mild spices as well. This bottle seemed a bit stale, not what I remember this beer tasting like, though when I drank it before I wasn’t as experienced a drinker as I am now. A good beer for the price, but not that much better than Kasteel. I’m going to have to revisit it, though. *My bottle has a different label than the one pictured.

Pours brown into the glass with a nice off white head. Aroma is very yeasty with some sweetness to it. Flavor is very malty with those same earthy tones that you get used to from the saison. This beer, much like the saison, seems to expand in your mouth. Very delicious

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Pours a clear orange with a beige head. Aroma of caramels, grapefruits, and toffee. Flavors constitute citrus, caramels, toasted, red fruits, hops, and faded hints of pine. Balanced well and pretty tasty.

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Clear light brown color with small creamy off-white head. Aroma is very light, apple, brown sugar. Flavor is very yeasty, alc and red fruit are strong with prune, dough and some hop residue rounding it out. Medium to full body, somewhat creamy. Very nice and hoppiest of the beers we’ve had.
