Westmalle Dubbel is a true classic--a lovely combination of malty depth, spicy flavor, and exquisite packaging, be it the collared duck-pin bottle or the simple trademark chalice. Westmalle’s frightfully expensive in the US, but is worth it once in a while... Ommegang is not a bad substitute though.

Bottle-Beer #11 on the 2006 Europe tour--The color was a deep, deep brown, almost black, with a creamy head. The aroma had malts, cinnamon and other spices along with yeast. A strong caramel taste developed as the drink warms. Good thick mouth feel.

A very smooth to the mouth beer with a wonderfull flavour. It has such a nice dark colour with a nice head on top of it. You taste the malt that has been burned nicely. The taste is very smooth . I drink it very often.

Gigantic tan head. A very aromatic beer scent floats from the glass. Dark brown clor with a lively body. Almost a merlot taste. Very enjoyable...but almost a little to fizzy to enjoy the taste.

Pours coca-cola esque caramel with beige head that dies down pretty soon. This beer is bottle conditioned so there’s quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Has a pungent yeast and malty aroma. Has a hugely powerful taste without being too bitter. Tastes malty at first, then settles down to a mildly bitter caramel taste which fades out becoming sweeter leaving a pleasant aftertaste that seems to linger for ages.

Drank this along with a Rochefort 6 and this came out on top hands down. Beautiful dark brown pout with a 2 finger head that laced all the way down the glass. Head left alot quicker than the Rochefort. Aroma is dark fruits, spices and alcohol with some yeastiness in the background.

Bottle has no notching on date codes, but best by? date stamp is 04-05-07; maybe 5 years old? Pours cloudy, dark brown. Huge head quickly boils away to nothing. Aroma is toffee and chocolate-covered cherries with slight alcohol. Flavor is yummy caramel chocolate with slight hop bittering at the end to provide great balance. Palate is dry and medium bodied. Great beer.

Nice aroma and taste. Produces a nice head when poured into a chalist styled glass.
