15 SRM
22 +/- I.B.U.s
5.5% ABV
Belgian Dubbel is a strong, tawny beer that originates from only one known brewery, Westmalle Trappist Monastery in Belgium. There are a number of commercial examples that are called "Abbey Style" ales, but none are true Trappist ales. This ale always has a very malty character, especially in the nose. The hops never really seem to emerge, and the taste is laden with powerful malt flavor. The body is medium to heavy with a chewy character that is sweet but balanced. The use of authentic Belgian candi sugar lends a slight tartness. Head retention is generally low, but the redeeming quality of this ale is the wealth of alcohol and maltiness.

I've had the original and several microbrew versions of Belgian Dubbel. This beer is outstanding. Perhaps the best beer I ever made. Use the WLP 530 yeast.
