Westmalle Dubbel beer is a dark reddish brown, the nachgart in the bottle. The cream-colored foam collar smells of special malt and leaves a nice pattern in the glass. The flavor is rich and complex, spicy and fruity with a bitter-fresh finish. It is a balanced quality beer with a soft mouth feel and a long, dry finish. The Dubbel contains 7% alcohol.
Since 1856 the monks brew beer next to the table still a dark Trappist beer. From 1926to adapt the recipe and brew the beer a little richer. This is the origin of today’s Dubbel.
The bottle with 33cl are individually packaged in boxes of six or offered with 24 bottles. Westmalle Dubbel is also the only dark Trappist beer that is drawn in around 300 carefully selected barrels from catering establishments with 30 and 50 liters. Because this living in the barrels of beer a little differently developed, it gets a different, sweeter taste than a Dubbel from a bottle.

This is another ‘old acquaintance’, and it is still a great beer, lovely malt taste and perfect sweetness for me

A must have for any passionate Belgian beer drinker. Strong, depth of Dubbel flavour, even more perfect with a Westmalle glass if you can get your hands on one.
James Russell –

Paul Bates –
My default beer in any Belgium bar and a really good example of its’ type. One of the best Trappist doubles available
Belgian Fan –
Excellent example of a Trappist dubbel. Dark fruit flavours with herbal hints. A must have and even better if found on draught.

More Belgium Dubbel goodness! Smooth as hell. Good looking bottle too.
Jo Duncan –
My preferred offering of the Trappist style. Westmalle makes decent beers. Hearty, malty, easy going down!
Matthew W –
Pours a dark brown with moderate sized beige head which recedes slowly to a nice top.
Aroma of of sweet malts, roast, caramel, banana, yeast, hay.
Taste of sweet roasted malts, raisins, banana, dark chocolate, roasty and boozy finish.
Fairly smooth with a frothy mouthfeel from the carbonation.
Very nice.
Jack Massey –

I love this, its dark ruby almost black in colour, delicious bitter chocolate, malty, dark fruits, heaven in a glass. I am no beer review expert but I know what a good beer tastes like and this is a very good one.

Found this on draught in a pub on Drury Lane in London several years ago. Really enjoyed it, a very smooth, tasty Dubbel, so look out for bottles to have at home whenever I can. Lovely beer
