Westmalle Dubbel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Dubbel

Thick raisin and plum nose. Alcohol noticable but nothing overwhelming. Dark caramel color. Acidic tones. Smooth with dark fruit flavors. Enjoyable drinking experience.

Poured reddish brown. Off white head big foamy and inviting. Enticing aroma of Nuts and malts some roasting to add to the party. The first taste was fizzy with carbonation, dancing on my tongue. A sour taste lingered. As the glass empties, I see good lacing tracing down to the ale. Nice. This is smooth and creamy as it warms, with some tartness. the hoops sneaking and lay around, waiting to kick in as the ale leaves a smile on my face. Time well spent with this, can’t wait to try the triple.

I’ve had this beer sitting in my fridge for days waiting to be opened. Westmalle Dubbel did not disappoint. Aroma was evident immeadiately after cracking the cap off. Poured nice into a goblet with a thick head. Beer had a consistant strong, yet smooth taste.

Bottle from BevMo. One of the best dubbels out there. Dark reddish-brown color with a huge off-white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, and sweet malts. Flavor is malty with dark fruits (raisins, plums, etc). Nice smooth medium-full palate.

Pours a deep dark brown with full frothy head. Aroma of caramel, fruits-- mostly bananas, apricots-- bread, yeast, Taste is mostly spicy and malty, the caramel malt comes through as well as the yeast and banana. Very well-balanced, though less complex than most dubbels. Dry finish, nice carbonation, Overall, and excellent brew.

A great beer. Can’t tell any appreciable difference in the bottle or tap version. Thre are no tours of the Abbey, but there is a cafe accross the street that is an excellent place to have a few.

Nice beer, especially with meat on the side. Nice dark colour and a very nice taste. Chocolate and dark fruits.

Dark brown color, good head. Chocolat and dark fruit in the aroma with a touch of alcohol. Dark fruit tastes carry into the body, finishes hoppily bitter. Nice warming alcohol. Overall this is a very nice beer, perhaps I expected more? Regardless, top notch.
