Grimbergen Double (Dubbel)

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Jumet, Belgium

Fredagsbaren på biologi, Aarhus, DK. Bottled. Brown with off-white head. Aroma of malt and dried fruit. Flavor is caramel with red berries and raisins

This is a brew that everyone can enjoy. Aroma is malty and sweet, taste is like candied malt with hints of raisin. Easy to drink a definite must try.

Tap. Clear amber-brown body with some ruby, thick creamy foam, quite persistent. Candy and raisin aromas. Taste: candy and dark fruits, alcohol and malt at the end. Tasty and very drinkable (and cheap) abbey beer.

Pours a amber-brown, with thin creamy tawny head, recedes to oilly top. Aromas of a sweet roasted malt, raisins and light alcohol. Flavors of raisin, and toffee; finishes malts and alcohol with a mushroom aftertaste. Light-medium body. Was very nice with my steak.

Pours mahogany into a trappist glass. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Mild malt and raisin aromas. Creamy sweet caramel upfront turning thick and plummy. Lasting cloying pti fruit finish.

almost clear, red-brown, thick beige head. very malty aroma comes with raisins and candy. similar candy taste, though not too sweet, with a nice fruity body and thin but nice malty finish. a bit thin overall, but tasty and refreshing for a dubbel.

Draft @ Ye Olde Falcon Pub. Pours dark reddish brown with tan head. Dark fruit and candy sugar aroma. Moderately sweet raisin and fig flavors with some molasses and candy sugar. Medium body with soft carbonation.

bottle, dark brown colour, very ridiculous white head (maybe because they poured the beer very badly). The beer has a fruity smell with notes from dried plums. Taste: very sugary and sweet, fruity, a bit grainy, artificial. I think this is a very average abbey dubbel, too much sugared and too artificial.
