Carma Belga Belgian Dubbel
Belgian Dubbel 5.5 º
This Belgian Dubbel presents a darker, more intense interpretation of the monastic tradition, leaning into a deep mahogany, nearly black profile. Influenced by its Trappist inspiration, the sensory experience is defined by a robust toasted malt core that introduces atypical but intriguing hints of light coffee alongside classic caramelized sugar. Rich dark fruit esters of raisin and plum weave through the aroma, supported by a subtle, peppery phenol character. On the palate, a prominent sweetness gives way to a complex toasted finish, balancing the specialty malt intensity with a smooth, medium-full presence and a lively carbonation that ensures a clean, lingering aftertaste.
Appearance. Dark mahogany to deep brown, nearly opaque. It features a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white to light tan head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a rich toasted malt character and caramelized sugar. Features prominent dark fruit esters of raisins and plums, a light hint of roasted coffee, and low peppery phenols. Hops are absent.
Taste. Malt-forward with an initial impression of sweet toasted grain and dark sugar. The mid-palate reveals complex plum and raisin esters. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt richness. It finishes moderately dry with a lingering toasted malt and spicy yeast character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high and effervescent. Alcohol warmth is low and well-integrated, with no astringency.
