Nose of plumbs and prunes. A dark brown color with a full tan head that dissipates fairly quickly. Taste follows the nose with fruitness as well as a distinct carmel taste and an herbiness. Mouthfeel is somewhat syrupey which lowered my rating a bit.

33cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (FL). Pours a dark chocolate brown with a thin tan head. In the nose, the beer smells slightly sweet, caramel, hints of toffee, inviting aroma. Flavor: sweet, malty, smooth, hints of spices and herbs with a very slight sour/sweet finish. Tastes faintly of barley on subsequent sips. Nice dubbel.

I think one of the well-known trappist beers in the Netherlands. It’s maybe the standard for the most people, if they think how a trappist has to be. Particular for those who aren’t familiar with beers. It’s red/brown colored beer, with a large creamy dark beige foamy head. An aroma which begins a little sweet, fruits, then caramel and a litlle spicy. The taste is complex, a little roasted malts, also some dark fruit, with caramel and at the end some bitternes. In my opion a very good beer.

What a mercy! I can drink a bottle WestmalleDubbel if i want. Beautiful appearance with a reddish color and a stable-foamy lacing and beige head. The aroma is complex, spicey. Roasted malt, fruits and caramel. In the taste dominates the roasted malt with nice fruity tastes(raisins), chocolate and the hidden alcohol. In the aftertaste the caramel and roasted malt flavour are together. I like the trappist monks and their beers:) Thank you, dear monks!

Very complex fruity aroma. Very impressive appearance with huge head and reddish black color. The body is too watery for an abbey dubbel, and a the flavor is more like a dark lager. You can taste the spicy hops in the aftertaste very well. Overally a very crisp and dry kinda beer. A nice dubbel but a little bit lighter that i expected.

Bottle. Heavy malty, dark bread, sweet, light alcoholic, port wine, light yeasty. Average brown creamy head, black body. Moderate sweet start and finish, long duration, silky mouth feel. Creamy texture, medium body, lively carbonation. Really a great great beer!
