Ename Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij Roman
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Port wine deep ruby red/brown with mid-tan large lasting head. Light random lacing on glass. Light fruity nectar, coffee, candy malt and faint barnyard yeast aromas. Medium yeasty bitter body with nicely balanced bitter sweet palate start. Some fruit and malt flavours evident as well. Finish is bordering on harsh bitter otherwise a reasonable Belgian dubble.

Bottle. Probably we got a strange bottle, our ratings have nothing to do with those on this page. The beer is brown, with a thick, long-lasting, beige head. Nutty raisiny and most of all perfumy aroma. The taste is that of lipstick (!) and shampoo. Flowery, yes, but in the same way as soap in your mouth is. Blah.

Amber with a medium head. Malty aroma. Some sulphur compound is present but this dissapears after a while. Let it rest a while before drinking. Malty taste.

Bottle. Dark brown, nice head. Sweet, rusty-dry middle. Gets better when left to stand for a few mins.

A thick malty pint,very gassy,a bitch of a brew,two in a session would be too much for me.

Sweet hop malt aroma. Clear red brown colour with thick foamy head and good lacing. Slight malt flavour. Fizzy palate.

At vonk slijterij in zaandam, 33cl bottle, amber/brown, full fluffy head, brown sugar in the aroma, some fruits, very dry in the end.

Bottled. Slightly hazy red colour. Off-white, big, rocky head. Malty and fruity nose. Malty, quite sweet and fruity in taste. Standard dubbel, but quite okay.
