Affligem Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Opwijk, Belgium

Browncoloured beer. Aroma mainly of caramel. Sweetish taste, finishes quite bitter.A bit on the thin side. Decent dubbel, but has absolutely no character, it tastes good but really has nothing of its own.

A first rate dubbel, with a fair amount of depth in flavor and palate. A world-class contender

Bottle. Deep amber (almost brown) in colour. Aroma of light chocolate, caramel and brown sugar. The flavour was of light chocolate and caramel malt, some yeast, slightly sweet with some dark fruits. Lightish body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a light bittermess.

Amber-brown color with cream colored head. Nose is malty, has hints of raisins and dark sugar. Also spices in the aroma and a slight bitterness. Taste is round, malty, light sweet, has hits of fruits and end with a round bitter accent.

Very dark copper colour, light fizzy white head. The nose is raisiney and alcoholic with hints of brown sugar and a light spiciness. The body is spritzy hinting of light fruit. Some yeast and a quick alcohol bite. Lightly sweet.

Transparent burgandy/amber, disappearing small near white head. Powerful astringent alcohol aromas (scotch, vodka) conceal most everything else. Hints of chocolate, caramel, malt, champagne grapes. Flavots of malt, milk chocolate, nutiness, overcome quickly by alcohol finish.

Pours dark amber with light head. transparent. Smells of alcohol and chocolate. Malty taste, first sip very fizzy and carbonated. The following sips were more smooth and less fragrant as the glass finished

Bottle. Cloudy dark brown color with a thick tan head. Sweet aroma of malt and dark fruit. Flavor starts off mildly sweet but finishes dry. Nice malty character with some caramel and fruit. Solid.
