Ename Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Roman
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Very good, you have to love the bottle conditioned belgians. Pours beautifully with a thick foam. Fills your mouth from the first sip, a little metallic and fishy (?) first taste which wears off later on. Quite an easy one actually, nothing really hits your face. It’s a little thin compared to trippels and quadruppels, but is quite full for a dubbel.

Bottle. Aroma: sweet, roasted malts, spices, dark fruits. Flavour of sweet roasted malt, plums and raisins, spices, some fruitiness. Bitter-sweetish finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours deep amber red/nutty brown with lasting white head. Seems filtered as it is hard to call it clear due to the deep colour. Slight acidic and malty aroma. Clear malt flavour with caramel notes. Interesting bitterness that makes me shiver. Simple and good!

Clear deep cherry colour with a lasting thin creamy head. Aroma is faintly fruity and toffee sweet with a slightly bitter malty taste.

Dark cola brown body, beige head. Aroma of wood fruits, malt, cherries, caramel. Notes of coffee, chocolat, cherries, roasted malts in the flavour. Some alcohol.

Smells nice, a little raisins, looks good. A nice simple dubbel, not real heavy or sweet. Good, but not great.

Bottle. Nice big head with good duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma is fruit and malt. Taste is fruit and malt as well.

Bottle. Small off-white head. Dark red clear body. Aroma of berries. Flavor of berries and caramel plus a good deal of carbon dioxide. Well rounded and pleasant.
