De Ryck Arend Dubbel is a Belgian abbey dubbel from Brouwerij De Ryck. In its fourth generation of family ownership under the stewardship of head brewer Anne De Ryck, Brouwerij De Ryck brews small-batch traditional Belgian ales. What is an abbey dubbel? An abbey dubbel is a stronger version of a typical dark brown abbey ale, originally brewed in Belgian monasteries.
De Ryck Arend Dubbel pours a chestnut brown colour, with natural carbonation from the secondary fermentation in the bottle. Aromas of sticky pudding and spice rise from the beer. The flavour follows the aromas, with the addition of a subtle, balancing bitterness from the hops. Buy De Ryck Arend Dubbel for a traditional abbey-style dubbel ale from an independent family-run Belgian brewery.

Good ‘solid’ dubbel beer, a bit lively (but maybe we drank it too varm)
Mark Charrington –
In my glass chestnut brown with a small creamy head Aromas of sponge pudding clove with orange zest My tongue finds crème caramel malts dark rum toffee banana The alcohol is prominent here so not a refined dubbel
Colin –
Nice enough but nothing in the taste or aroma that stood out for me. There are many other dubbels I prefer
David Winter –
Alcohol, with dry, somewhat muted notes of fruit, caramel, light spice and yeast with some bitter-sweetness. Decent but hard to get excited about, nor especially moreish.
