Westmalle Dubbel

when i opened the botlle, it gushed out. maybe to much sugar for the fermentation in the botlle. Banana and yeasty aroma. complex flavours of nuts caramel and chocolate.

Just my favorite dubbel. Much better than their tripel which itself is a classic. Belgian yeast and dark fruits highlight the nose, along with a hint of purest water from a stone well (that’s what I get anyway). Has a perfect medium palate, like this beer was made by gods to be the perfect beer. Taste is clean apple-white grape and caramel. Beer is so good, New Belgium stole the bottle.

Dark mahogany pour with soda like sudsy beige head. Slightly nutty, sweet fruit, and pleasant alcohol aroma. I like this one much much more than the tripel. Rich sweet malt with a really nice bitter, nutty, dark-fruit aftertaste. Like the tripel its somewhat one-dimensional for the style and maybe a tad sweet. Lively fluffy body. 8.4.8.4.17 [rerate 10.25.09] 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a darker shinny brown with a huge foamy root-beer float like rocky head. Aroma is sweet and bready, dark sugar, raisins, hint of plums, touch metallic, trappist yeast note is nice. First taste is a bit bready, dark rye, bitter, plummy yeast, odd metallicness, subtle sweetness, flavor vacantly detached from the airy body, lightly nutty, bitter plumy yeast aftertaste and long lingering dry charcoal. Medium bodied, big corse fluffy airy carbonation. I appreciate this in a different way after trying the Westvleteren offerings. Age has dried it out in a nice way, but some of the oxidation notes are distracting 7.4.8.4.15

Nice deep amber. Pours with a small head. Quite a lot of malty sweetness to begin with, but this quickly dissipates. Slightly plumy and even a little bit raisin. Particularly good winter type beer.

Mahogany color with a viscous 1" head. Nice earthy smell of dark pit fruits. Decent taste same as smell is malty sweet up front with a fairly dry finish. This beer tastes better at 60-65*f than when chilled. The yeasty crud at the bottom of the bottle had a good flavor of ripe plums. 013006

Bottle: Not great raison and alcohol aroma. However, really good flavor and palate. Malty and fruity. Good.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Borisz, I wish I shopped in your local grocery store! Pours cloudy orangish-brown with frothy head. Slightly sour aroma of citrus and pine, with some dark fruits. Taste is smooth, with raisins, toffee. Taste is somewhat bland and the beer seems thin. Disappointing.

One of the best beers that are easy to buy in a supermarket. Nice beer. Nice taste. Bought in a 33CL nice bottle.
