Westmalle Dubbel is characterized by notes of caramel, malt, and fruity esters that reminds one of ripe banana. Its foam is quite thick and cream coloured. It is soft in the mouth with a dry finish.
Since Westmalle Dubbel is a beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the beer will keep on fermenting and evolving in the bottle even after the best-before date. The taste will change compared to a fresher Westmalle but the beer will still be great to drink!
Description
In 1865 the monks of Westmalle started brewing a dark Trappist beer in addition to their table beer. They adjusted the recipe in 1926, doubling the amounts of raw ingredients to produce a new, stronger beer. Dubbel is a logical name for this doubled beer, though it is more often simply called ‘Trappist’. To this day, the 1926 recipe is the basis for Westmalle Dubbel.
Westmalle Dubbel is a dark red-brown beer with a rich, complex taste thanks to re-fermentation in the bottle. You pick up touches of caramel, malt and fruity esters reminiscent of ripe banana. The beer pearls beneath a covering of dense, cream-coloured froth. A lovely lace pattern forms on the inside of the glass once emptied. The long, dry finish of this balanced, mild Trappist beer will stay with you.
