July 21, 2005 - #12 of 365

Brewer: Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle (Malle, Belgium)
Beer: Dubbel
Style: Abbey Dubbel
abv: 7%

Background: Bottle from the store, poured in a Westmalle goblet.

Appearance: Reddish-brown with a large, rocky head that recedes to a lovely film-like layer of bubbles that sticks around for the whole show.

Aroma: Figs, raisins, candi sugar. Swirling releases some phenolic notes.

Flavor: Candi sugar and dark fruits turn to an interesting, for lack of a better word, perfumey flavor. Dry finish, with a pleasant aftertaste that stays with you.

Notes: Much better than a DP, if that needs mention.

Rating: 3.8 out of 5
