Dominus Dubbel and Tripel (from Trappistenbrouwerij Koningshoeven, Netherlands) have been thought (by me as well, mind you) to be labelbeers from La Trappe Dubbel & Tripel, just relabled differntly for John Martin importers for Belgium, France, etc.
I have been informed by the head brewer of La Trappe, that this is not quite the case:
- the original gravity of the Dominus versions are lower. Hence, the Dubbel Dominus comes out at 6.5 % ABV, instead of 7% at La Trappe.
- the Dominus versions are filtered, not so the La Trappe originals.
L. Swinkels even added that it is their intention to differentiate both versions even further in future.

So: if you think your rating is in the wrong place, you can move it to the newly opened Dominus page. If you cannot do it yourself, mail me or any of the other admins.
