Westmalle Dubbel

very good. nice, dark color with cream colored head. good taste of hops, malt, bread. fantastic stuff from the trappists.

Pours dark amber brown, forming off white foamy head. Aroma raisins, flowered hops with raspberries, plums and candy comes through too. Flavour is of lovely malts, cotton candy, bananas and burnt plums. Oh my Lord, a wonderful beer from our friends in Belgium!! Sheeeesh, I love my American IPA’s, but this is such a great beer. Next to IPA, my next fave style! Frigen awesome brew!

Dark brown amber with decent head. Aroma of sharp crystal malts and some burnt caramel. Flavor of burnt carmael, good malt backbone. Medium-bodied, alcohol content merges well in the beer. Improves markedly with warming/aeration. Banana esters and breadiness unwind. Enjoyable and well-crafted, but falls short of extraordinary.

Amber in colour with moderate carbonation. Great aromas of red berry fruits, creamy caramel malts, floral hops, and a bit of raisin and spice. In the mouth, it starts off fruity and malty, but dries out really quickly with notes of woody hops and iron. Not as heavy as expected. A nice drinkable beer, but not as good as the Rochefort.

Bottle (2005). Brown with big brown/beige head. Aroma of bread, roasty and cereal. Medium sweetness and lightly bitter. Medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, long roasted, sweet and dry finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a dark brown with a big tan head. Taste has hops, citrus, banana, caramel, yeast and some malt. Nice bitter finnish, a good dubbel

Pours a beautiful Mahogany shade with a full fluffy oatmeal colored head. Nose is dried fig along with sugars. The flavor is malty, dried fruit, and touch of smokiness. Not that complex or powerful. Almost no hint of alcohol. Very smooth

330mL bottle, labeled 14/07/07. Pours ruby brown, with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma of fruit, banana esters, yeast, and some chocolate malt. Sweet malt flavor, with plums, yeast, chocolate, and raisin. Moderate carbonation. Very good Dubbel.
