Belgian Dubbel 7 º

Brouwerij Rolduc

Rolduc Abdijbier Dubbel is a classic expression of the Belgian Dubbel style, presenting a deep monastic character. The beer pours a rich dark copper with reddish highlights, reminiscent of a monk's habit. On the nose, it offers a moderate to strong bouquet of caramelized sugars, dark fruits like raisins and plums, and a hint of peppery phenols. The palate is full-bodied and rounded, showcasing a complex malt profile with distinctive notes of dark chocolate and coffee. Despite the initial sweetness, the 7% ABV and medium-high carbonation ensure a balanced, moderately dry finish that highlights the interplay between rich malt and spicy yeast esters.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark amber with a reddish hue (14-17 SRM). Topped by a large, dense, creamy off-white head with excellent retention and lacing. Generally clear.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring rich malty notes of toasted bread, caramelized sugar, and a subtle hint of roasted coffee. Expressive yeast esters provide scents of dried plum and raisin, complemented by low peppery phenols. Hop aroma is negligible.

Taste. Malty-rich and complex. Initial sweetness brings flavors of dark chocolate and dark fruit esters such as raisin and prune. Bitterness is medium-low, serving only to balance the malt. Fermentation character is clean but spicy with light phenols. Finishes moderately dry with a lingering malty, cocoa-infused aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, rounded texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively sparkle on the tongue. Subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated at 7% ABV. Low astringency.
