Westmalle Dubbel

Dark brown with light brown creamy head. Fruit aroma with a malty hint. Full fruit flavor with a bitter lasting finish. This one has been by far my favorite over the years. To the point that I’ve got to provide an updated rating. It deserves it!

Pours murky deep ruty red with tan head. The aroma is full of dark fruity esters, brown sugar and yeasty spiciness. It smells smooth and silky. The taste isn’t nearly as smooth as the prickly carbonation tends to erupt across my palate delivering notes of brown sugar, sweet prunes, ripe cherries and over ripe peaches. Under the fruitiness is a pleasing level of caramel candy coupled to modest amounts of yeasty spiciness. Solid stuff.

Poured out dark brown with a light head. The aroma is nothing very special. The mouthfeel is thin in my opinion. The overall taste is pretty average. Not a bad beer just nothing special.Just not what I expect from a Belgian beer.

Pours very dark brown with a thick head that last quite a while. Strong initial hit of raisins coffee with a wonderful lingering treacle aftertaste. Positively tongue-tingling!

Love Dubbels and this one is no exception. Murky dark brown. Huge frothy head to start but dies too quick.Not much lace. Dark fruit and spice aroma. Flavour has dark fruits, plums and raisins. Spice, yeast and I taste some banana. Full bodied with a nice alcohol warmth in the throat.

Dark brown color and a small, but long lasting, beige head. Aroma and taste of malt, caramel, dried fruit and some alcohol. Not as good as the trippel at all, but definately a very decent classic trappist.

I've been holding onto this one a long time, at least a couple of years if not several, with many other beers I've been carefully cellaring. This one's a beautiful dark brown, almost coffee, a bit ruddy and cloudy, with a dense cap. Aroma of raisins, dates, and sweet bread. The flavor is sweet & tart cherry and dough with just a hint of kola nut. Very tingly. Will want to retry a fresher batch sometime.

Another bottle I enjoyed at Bistro l'Autre Oeil in Aylmer. Pours a very frothy light brownish head and has a hazy, light brown/coppery appearance. Pretty good lacing. Fairly excessive carbonation. Yeasty sediments are clearly visible. Aromas of dark roasted malts, dark chocolate. Alcohol does come through almost immediately but not offensive along with flavours of caramel, light chocolate notes, raisins, yeast and barley malts. Warming sensation. Creamy and mildly drying mouthfeel. Goes down real nice and easy and at 7%abv, just perfect.

Opaque brown with a more than ample head that hangs around for quite a while. Dried fruit - raisen - aroma in the nose and flavor with added plums and caramel to the latter. Big, malty back. Very nice.
