Belgian Dubbel 6.5 º

De Graal

De Graal Dubbel offers an evocative sensory experience centered on the rich, complex profile of a Belgian Dubbel. The initial impression is dominated by an aroma reminiscent of warm raisin cake, layered with a subtle, inviting spice. On the palate, deep flavors of sun-dried raisins transition seamlessly into notes of milk chocolate and toasted malt. These darker elements are balanced by a gentle hop presence that leads to a distinctive, lingering finish of aromatic anise. This mahogany-hued ale strikes a sophisticated balance between monastic malt depth and expressive yeast character, providing a quintessential expression of Belgian brewing tradition.

Appearance. Dark copper to deep mahogany with brilliant clarity and a reddish hue. Crowned by a dense, persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent rich malt notes of caramel, toast, and a hint of chocolate. Distinctive dried fruit esters, specifically raisins and plums, are accompanied by a subtle spicy-phenolic character resembling raisin cake and light pepper.

Taste. Initial flavors of sweet raisin and caramel malt transition into darker notes of milk chocolate and toasted bread. Moderate spicy phenols emerge mid-palate alongside low herbal hop notes. Bitterness is medium-low, keeping the malt forward without being cloying. The finish is moderately dry with a unique, lingering anise character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
