Belgian Dubbel 9 º 27 IBU

Brouwerij De Kip

Heilig Haantje presents as a sophisticated Belgian Dubbel, boasting a deep copper hue with brilliant ruby depths and a persistent, creamy off-white head. The aroma is defined by a rich tapestry of caramelized sugar and toasted malt, interwoven with pronounced esters of dark plum and sun-dried raisins. Despite its potent 9% ABV, the alcohol is deceptively well-integrated, offering only a gentle, perfumy warmth rather than a sharp bite. On the palate, a complex malt sweetness gives way to subtle peppery phenols and a medium-full body, lightened by high carbonation. It concludes with a satisfyingly dry finish that leaves a lingering impression of dark fruit and toasted grain.

Appearance. Dark amber to deep copper with attractive reddish-ruby depths. Generally clear with a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Rich malty profile featuring caramelized sugar, toast, and a hint of chocolate. Significant dark fruit esters reminiscent of raisins and plums. Low to moderate spicy, peppery phenols and a subtle, soft floral hop character.

Taste. Rich malt flavors of caramel and toasted bread dominate the initial impression. Complexity is added by esters of dried dark fruit and light peppery phenols. Bitterness is medium-low, keeping the balance firmly on the malt. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering malty and estery aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Smooth, medium-full body. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively texture that cuts through the malt. Features a soft, well-integrated alcohol warmth that is never hot or solventy.
