Westmalle Dubbel

Bottle shared with the Hinkle Monster at the Devonshire. Darker caramel-cola like pour, nice foam head. Slight Aroma of grapes like a fine wine. Light on the pallet, not thick or weighted down. Mellow and clear-smooth drinking Ale with a mild pleasant semi sweet finish.

Bottle shared with a friend at St.Veronus. Pour was very dark brown with a white frothy head. Nose was sweet, with mild spice; cumin, coriander, maybe a little rm. Flavour consisted of dates, heavy cumin, coriander and yeast. Very enjoyable beer.

En klassisk trappist dubbel. Let banan/ester der dog hurtigt får kamp til stregen af frugt, malt, let syrlighed - og alt det der nu ellers kendetegner en god dubbel

This is a wonderful dubbel that pours dark chocolate brown. The body is dark and hazy. The head is off white thick and bubbly, that makes for good lacing. Aromatic roasted malts and classic Belgian yeast fills the nose. Also there were light unripe or green banana and caramel notes. It tastes as good as it smells, malty and sweet, with hops being very low key. Molasses and malts, banana and caramel blend together to round out this smooth and silky ale. The body is full with soft carbonation and finishes dry, slightly bitter.

Draught, Amsterdam. Had forgotten just how good this is! Deep dark brown colour with a decent off white head. Malty fruity aroma. Very smooth, flavour is more malt and fruit fruit. Wanted another straight away which is always a good sign. Think this is the best of the Westmalle beers.

Pours a dark brown color topped with a nice thick foamy tanish head. Aroma is nice and fresh consisting of dark fruits, yeast and a touch of wine. The mouthfeel is creamy, slightly tart and relatively full and rich. The flavor here is some sugary dark fruits with yeast and a touch of roasted malts. Not crazy flavorful but they all blend together quite nicely. The finish is somewhat mellow and clean. This beer is extremely smooth and easy drinking. Another excellent one from the Monks.

Pours a deep brown with a light brown head. Nose is not as big as some other dubbels. Malt and fruit are there. The taste is also not too agressive. Again, some malt and fruit with some spice as well. The finish is somewhat bitter. Body is dry and maybe little watery. Overall, a nice very drinkable dubbel.

53 cents at a supermarket in Amsterdam...nice! Quite malty, with a slight fruit flavor and sourness. Sweetness comes through at the end, and lasts a good amount of time.
