Abdij van Roosenberg Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Ertvelde, Belgium

Huge, very fine and dense, light-greige head over dark red-amber beer. Chocolate and greenery - but old, drying one, leafy - or drying tobacco leaves, as before processing. Dry taste, with slightly tobacco-ash notes; retronasal sugary, toffee-like sweetness, but, as everything, quite restrained in the good sense of the word. Again I’m reminded of drying tobacco leaves. Better than expected. Medium to well bodied, slick, very slightly viscous. Despite my misgivings about the beernamesfactory responsible, as well as about the specific origins of the name of this beer, I cannot but like it.

Bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with a huge, fluffy head. Sweet cookie-like aroma and notes of vanilla. Flavour of caramel, yeast, and toffee-like. Ends up dry - very high carbonated.

Bottle. Amber-brown. Huge well lasting creamy white head leaving a good lacing. Sweet and fruity aroma with a pleasant maltiness. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good profound maltiness with some yeast, fruits and caramel.

Bottle @ Yespr tasting.
[thank you, Yespr]
Pours a great clear brown with a big, staying creamy off white head - great lacing. All in all a beautiful beer. Aroma is sweet, light caramel and some sweet fruits. Good mouthfeel, quite creamy. Flavour is surprisingly bitter with a good roasted malty edge along with some light chocolate. Perhaps a bit unbalanced and weird, but still quite nice.

[Courtesy of yespr - session @ yespr] Brown with huge lasting head. Sweet roasted malt in the aroma. Same goes for the flavor that is somewhat watery.

33 cL bottle. Pours golden and clear amber with a collapsing tan head. Light spiced, caramel malt aroma. Spiced and caramel to chocolate malt flavour. Light acidic to citric note. Goes into a nice light fruity and solid caramel malt and light yeasty mellow finish.

Darker brown coloured beer with average carbonation and a large off-white head. Light aroma with some sour malty touches. Medium to full bodied palate. Finish is light sour, malty with some sprankling roasted touches. Nice.
