Westmalle Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Malle, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

Poured a beautiful rich brown with a full, slightly creamy head. Starts strong on the palate and then softens with compex flavors and a hoppy, long lasting finish. Great dubbel.

330 ml bottle. Aroma was way more sweeter and fruitier than the flavor. Aromas of cherry and currant prevailed with some caramel and molassas in there too. The flavor was very malty, with a tinge of sour viniousness to it. Pretty good stuff.

300ml bottle. pours w/a white head (slightly tan tinted) and a pearl brown hue. the head is quite spongy and slowly residual. aromas of cloudy hops, bread-like fruit, and fresh malts. taste is all over the map; dry hops, wet hops, toasted, but not burnt malts, lemon-citrus blend fruits, and an overall smooth yet carbonated mouthfeel with a pleasant, well-balanced finish. also - notes of oak and slight, non-offensive bitterness. A beer to enjoy...the dubbels are a new love of mine.

330ml bottle. NIce thick tan head when poured into the glass. Color is a deep reddish brown Malty aromas, medium mouthfeel, and nice carbonation. Good flavors, Very good beer.

Pours a Dark brown with a creamy white head. Aroma of dark fruits and bread dough. Taste of banana, breads, and some dark fruits. Nice full finish. Great Dubbel.

Deep fruity aroma. Dark malt. Absolutely beautiful appearance, dark reddish brown. Perfect head, creamy tan that stays well. Great flavor, not too strong, slight alcohol in the finish. Malt and fruit taste. Good lacing of the head. Nothing outstanding on the palate. Simple. Expensive, but I’d drink it again, great beer.

Looks like a beautiful glass of root beer, dense brown pour with a creamy and bubbly tan top. Heavy lacing that gradually slides back down into the beer. Figs and sugary raisins lead off the abundant well rounded aroma. There is a very excellent scent of quality grape juice concentrate, almost wine like in nature. Not an extremely complex aroma but it is outstanding and very inviting. There’s a hearty body with this Dubbel that provides an exceptional smoothness. Not too thick, but still very creamy. There’s a wonderful underlying flavor of juicy red wine, this is initially noticed in the aroma but it really thrives as the base of a great well rounded flavor. Mild earthiness with some even milder smoked nuttiness. Moderately bitter notes are detected here and there, but this gets overshadowed by the fermented sweetness. Dark fruits, malty, sugary, and bitter all tossed together. There are many great facets involved with this great Belgian.

very good. nice, dark color with cream colored head. good taste of hops, malt, bread. fantastic stuff from the trappists.
