Commercial Description:
In the small village of Meer, north of the city of Antwerp, there used to be an abbey which was famous for its beer named St. Paul. During the French Revolution, the abbey was destroyed and so it was said-one father named Paul, rescued the secret recipes to brew the abbey beer and trust them onto the local Sterkens family, at that time a renowned brewer family. The Sterkens family had been brewing beer since 1654, and their St. Paul abbey beer is still brewed today, respectfully according to the centuries old tradition.

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Pours a murky raisin brown. Aroma is light of brown sugar, red fruit, and dough. Watery palate with light carbonation. Raisins and red fruit in the flavor. Noticeable alcohol heat. The water and heat don’t mix well.

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting, I had no idea this was retired when I bought this in the western suburbs, in ceramic like bottle. Hzy dark-muddy brown with small off-white head. Light aroma of alc, plum, dough, trappist like. Sweet plum flavor, brown sugar, grapy, kind of funny. Body is thin. Interesting aroma but body and flavor is not so good.
