Antigua Quimera Trapense
Belgian Dubbel 8 º
Antigua Quimera Trapense is a robust interpretation of a Belgian Dubbel, pushing the boundaries of the style with its 8% ABV and a notably pronounced hop character. This monastic-style ale pours a deep, reddish-copper and delivers a complex bouquet of toasted malts, caramelized sugar, and rich dark fruit esters reminiscent of plums and raisins. While traditional yeast-derived peppery phenols provide depth, this version distinguishes itself with an elevated floral and spicy hop profile. The palate offers a firm, medium-full body where initial malty sweetness transitions into a surprisingly dry and clean finish, accented by a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
Appearance. Deep copper to dark amber with attractive reddish depths; features a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head with excellent lacing; generally clear.
Aroma. Moderately strong intensity with a rich malt foundation of toast and caramelized sugar; pronounced floral and spicy hop aroma complements dark fruit esters of raisin and dried plum; low peppery phenols and a soft, perfumy alcohol presence.
Taste. Complex malt-forward impression of toasted bread and caramel; moderate spicy and herbal hop flavor is more present than typical for the style; medium-low bitterness; yeast-derived esters of dark fruits and light peppery phenols add layers; finishes moderately dry with a lingering malty and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture; medium-high carbonation provides a lively, effervescent sensation; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without being hot or solventy.
