Affligem Dubbel
Belgian Dubbel 6.8 º
Affligem Dubbel is a quintessential Belgian Dubbel, presenting a dark, spicy, and deeply complex profile. It opens with a silky, long-lasting foam that yields to a rich tapestry of clove and anise phenols. The initial impact of spice is gracefully balanced by a transition into soft, smooth caramel malt sweetness. Swirling the glass reveals aromatic layers of ripe banana esters and a subtle floral hop presence. This monastic ale balances its 6.8% ABV with a moderately dry finish, ensuring the malty richness never becomes cloying. The interplay between the toasted malt depth and the expressive yeast character defines its classic abbey heritage.
Appearance. Copper to deep reddish-brown (SRM 15-17). Features a large, dense, and exceptionally long-lasting creamy off-white head with a silky texture and fine lacing. Generally clear with attractive reddish highlights.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant aromas of caramelized sugar and toasted malt are complemented by significant spicy phenols, specifically clove and anise. Moderate fruity esters of banana and dried plum are present, with a low herbal hop note becoming apparent upon agitation.
Taste. Initial impression is rich and spicy, led by prominent clove and herbal notes. This transitions into a softer, smooth mid-palate of caramel and dark sugar. Medium-low bitterness allows the malt to remain prominent, while the yeast provides complexity through anise and ripe fruit. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering malty and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a lively feel that prevents the malt from feeling heavy. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being hot.
