Westmalle Dubbel

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a murky, non-translucent brown with a massive tan head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma of dark fruit, mostly raisin, some yeast and alcohol. Initial flavor of apple and grape with more dark fruits coming in later. Light body, moderate carbonation, slight alcohol presence, and some lacing. Ok beer, worth a try.

Good stuff. Aroma is equal mix piney hops and molasses malts with some fruit as well. Pours an extremely dark red tinged brown with a large creamy kakhi head that lasts pretty well. Some of the best lacing I have seen so far. Taste is okay but somewhat watery for a 7% Trappist Dubbel. A bit dry and over carbonated for the style. That said, this beer is worth getting again.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a great creamy head and a touch of lacing. Aroma seems earthy and fruity, with some sweet tones. Flavor is lots of fruit, plums, raisins, bananas. A good tangy finish, with a touch of bitterness. A great beer, but not my favorist Trappist variety.

Its pretty clear how much work and tradition go into these trappist beers - they have a very refined complex taste. Seems like every beer molecule can be tasted individually. Its all ale taste, they done use a whole lote of hops to cover up anything. Very carbonated - leaves behind a dry feeling despite the sweetness.

For me it’s the badest trappist in belgium. (i live there) I don’t say westmalle is bad, because the triple is my favorite beer. For me the beer is not powerfull enough. Maybe because the alcohol is low?

This is definately the best Dubbel I’ve ever experienced. Balanced is the name of this... all the way from aroma to finish. Outstanding hazy dark red color and semi-sweet aroma leads to balanced mild fruit taste and slightly more carbonation than the traditional. Wow!

330ml bottle. Very dark, light healthy off-white head. Aroma ranges from apple and peach initially to raisin and plum, with candifloss present too. Lively carbonation, a little too much perhaps. Taste follows the same pattern as the aroma, very mellow and with a sweet richly-roasted malty taste, verging on coffee but with also sweet fleshy fruit too.

Bottle. Dark Brown Colour, creamy head but not long, very powerful in the beginning. Slight yeast taste, long dry aftertaste. The hop taste is very subtle and well done. A masterpiece!
