Westmalle Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Malle, Belgium

Really good double drank at JKO in Fort Wayne. Perfectly balanced and not too light as some trappists beers I have had.

Smells of wet dog, cherries and new tires. Creamy dark brown with a head that is thin in the middle of the glass, but rises strong on the sides, concave in the glass. Bright red fruits, heavy weighted malt and yeast, clean throughout, though not all that married together. Lots of cola nut, some raspberry. There is no hype to live up to, but still doesn’t hold up to the expectations.

Bottle. Apperance; Dark brown with some red in it, clowdy. Very fruity Aroma and flavor. This is one of my favourite beer.

poured medium brown with a reddish tint. massive head on pouring, even with tipped glass. Aroma of dark belgian spices, nutmeg. Taste is where this shines through with a nice full spice and fruit offering. Great balance as well.

12oz bottle. Very dark with nice creamy head culminating into rings. Not as complex as The Rochefort or St Bernardus or even a Chimay Blue but still a good example of an abbey ale.

Colore rosso scuro,schiuma compatta,persistente,di alto spessore.Aroma di malto con note di noci e frutta secca.Gusto lievemente amaro e alcolico.Un’ottima dubbel.

Bottle from BevMo. One of the best dubbels out there. Dark reddish-brown color with a huge off-white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, and sweet malts. Flavor is malty with dark fruits (raisins, plums, etc). Nice smooth medium-full palate.

Pours a nice dark colour with a big head of foam. Got a sweat fruity and yeasty smell. The taste was also quite "wineous" with some frutiy tastes and yeast. A very nice double.
