pours a dark brown with a copper tint, nice creamy head for the style. Aroma is grainy with notes of dry hops, some citrus- less sweet than i was expecting. Flavor is malt, caramel, and dark fruit, but the depth of the malt flavoring and its intertwining with the secondary flavors is far better than most of this style. Really smooth and drinkable palate, excellent beer.

Pours a dark ruby with a thin lace of off-white head. Aroma of raisins and sweet malt. Light mouthfeel, with sweet fruit initial taste that ends with a soft hoppy bitterness. A good example of a dubbel.

This is an absolutely fantastic beer! Only six brewers in Belgium are allowed to use the name trappist. Westmalle is one of them. A trappist ale is one brewed by Belgian monks. This fantastic beer smells great, looks great, and tastes great! It blends fruits almost perfectly with the light chocolate and caramel flavors. It’s slightly fizzy yet very easy on the palate. This Westmalle Dubbel is a must have.

Got this one from matsciguy - thanks man. Nice smooth aroma, clear brown sugar color, not too carbonated and the head was not too sticky or rocky and didn’t last. To me I tasted raisins and plums. Mild bitternes and light on the tongue. Very nice.

Bottle 33cl. Very fresh and sweet scent, can find traces of apple, banana and a slight trace of orange. Taste is also fresh, delightful caramel and chocolate, mixed in a whole variaty of different fruits. Lovely on the palate. An excellent dubbel beer!

Bottle. Pours red brown with a beihe head. Fruity aroma, with raisin, caramel, banana, and bubblegum. Flavor is way malty, with dark fruit, a hint of chocolate, and a dry and slightly hoppy finish. Very good.

Bottled. A hazy brown beer. Medium head is cloudy and white in colour. Warm aroma has lots of sweey&sour fruits, raisins, dates and some hops. Malts are sweetish, a bit toffy in the finish. The finish is medium bitter, surprisingly sour and dry. Medium bodied. Foaming and a bit fizzy carbonation, but mouthfeel is still quite smooth.
