| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2008 I got a bottle of Westmalle Dubbel on the Outer Banks. It was $4.99 for an 11.2 oz bottle at Chips Market ’Great Wall of Beer.’
I like this one a little better than several other Trappist/Belgians I tried this week. It is smooth, with a nice finish. A little less alcohol than the others; only 7% rather than 9-10%. Nice dark brown color, nice light brown head. Thumbs up... gmonroe10 (172), Netherlands
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a beautiful dark brown, with a brown tinted frothy head. Aroma is sweet caramel and just a little yeast, not as much fruit as other dubbels. Well carbonated and a creamy mouthfeel and smooth malt,slightly sweet and alcoholic. A pleasant slightly dry and hopped short finish. Joakgust (321), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2008 33 cl bottle - Hazy brown beer with a great head. Fruity aroma without as much dried fruits as most dubbels have. Instead a more pleasant mix of yeast and bananas. Flavorwise this beer feels more refined than the tripel. Smooth maltiness and banana esters mixed nicely with a dryish hoppy finish.
This is probably what the monks at westmalle prefer over the tripel. note666 (282), Eindhoven, Netherlands

Yet it has a rich complexity that comes through when this beer is served at the correct temperature.
