Westmalle Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Malle, Belgium

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.

bottle. Oh thats good. Toffee, caramel, plums, nuts. Sweet. long finish, a nice way to end a night with a couple of these.

Pours a hazy mist. Reddish head, with scents of apples, berries, and nuts. Sweet flavor. Wonderful taste as well as a wonderful aftertaste. Would highly recommend.

Pours a dark hazy brown with a little fizzy head. Nose of sweet apples, brown sugar, a hint of sour and some alcohol. A little bit of bitter at the end as well. Sweet bready yeasty flavor with an extremely dry finish. Not a whole lot of body, but a nice effervescence that plays on the tongue.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. First time I drank this I was dissapointed, but the second time it turned out to be really good. Vinous, light acid but at the same time sweet taste with a lot of plums. Great! Probably my favourite dubbel.

Pours a hazy amber with just a bit of head that has a reddish tone. Smell is definitely caramelized sugar and caramel. Flavor is of caramel, caramelized nuts and hops. A good dubbel- don:t realize its alcohol content.

330cl bottle, marked 6/12/07. Pours a lovely clear russet-brown with minimal yet dense khaki head. Nose is full of berries, almost like blackberry jam, with a hint of oaky vanilla and fresh baked pastry. Not too thick on the palate, but creamy, with again more berries, some grainy biscuit, before the zesty herbal hops kick in, following through to the dry sherry finish, ending just slightly warm. A lovely, complex dubbel.
