Westmalle Dubbel

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

This beer must be evaluated at quite a warm temp. to realize its greatness. Aroma is prunes, malt, complex. Appearance is dead on for the style, dark brown with off white head. Flavor is malt with yeast and a little bit of hops. Very good ale.

Delicate nose with yeasty and raisiny aromas. Brown base color with a slight red tinge. Nice tan leggy head. Sweet flavor up front that is spicey, nutty and has hints of honey. There is a woody finish that is slightly dry. Nice boost of taste from the alcohol. Complex palette. Mature and well-balanced. Enjoy this best by itself.

Dark amber color, creamy head. Nice aroma of malt and hop. Very good body, malty, robust bitterness; long final, not enough aromatic; a pleasure for your taste buds!

Keg
It's the only Trappist beer available in kegs (and I don't understand what's the need for that). It's good but not mature nor enough hoppy; it's a bit metallic and doesn't have enough character. [7-5-6-4-13]

looks fantastic. amazingly drinkable, almost skullable thanks to plenty of hops and rich citric fruits to balance the rotten stone fruits

Wow! Worth every gilder or Euro. good luck finding this at Walmart. Very close to a much easier to find Chimay(Blue). The monks put out a great product.

Magnifica trapista. Negra con mucho aroma y sabor intenso con notas a chocolate y regaliz

Poured from bottle.Dark red with a nice tan head. Wonderful aroma, can smell caramel, fruit, bread. Malty sweet taste, with just the right amount of hoppy bitterness to balance it out. Very dry but enjoyable. Medium mouthfell, just right. Excellent overall.

Bottle 33cl. Very fresh and sweet scent, can find traces of apple, banana and a slight trace of orange. Taste is also fresh, delightful caramel and chocolate, mixed in a whole variaty of different fruits. Lovely on the palate. An excellent dubbel beer!
